Thanks to everyone who volunteered to sew Dresden Plates and Rail Fence squares for our QuiltCon 2018 Charity Quilt! Following what was discussed at the meeting, below are some further instructions:
Rail Fence Low Volume Blocks: Please sew 11” square blocks with the fabric provided and do not trim - we will do that when constructing the quilt. If you want to add more fabric please ensure it is low volume.
Dresden Plates: Please feel free to make any variation of a Dresden Plate. There are many tutorials and patterns online including:
Please make approximately the size of Dresden Plate indicated on your bag of fabric, without stressing too much (9.5” rather than 10” is fine, etc.). Please remember if your final Dresden Plate is 10” each wedge will be 5” (because there are wedges on both sides of the circle, completing the 10”).
If you want to add a bit of fabric from your stash, please stay within this palette provided from MQG. Thanks for your help everyone! We can’t wait to see all of the finished blocks and Dresden Plates at the October 19th meeting!
