Here are links to the Dresden's templates I showed in the video but remember I don't earn a commission on the purchases:

Please remember that quilting and piecing is about having fun not feeling pressured!
There is so many things to look at on a scrappy quilt that other people won't notice any mistakes you make.
I hope this helps you conquer your Mount Scrapmore!

Good Morning Brenda, I guess I’m late to the party on this video. 🤣. Better late than never. I have a plan to make a Dresden and make it into something fun. I’m not sure when it will be on the top of the list, but I will get it done hopefully before next spring or fall(?). 🤣🤣 I have a lot on my must make list. They look fun to make. I hope you and Mr. Camera-man have a good week. 🥰 Chris
P.S. As time allows, I do go through your videos. I learn something from every video I watch. Thanks Again 👏👍

I'm sewing binding as I watch you Brenda, so the video didn't seem long to me! I used a blanket stitch on my machine to attach the center. That bee fabric is cute; it's going to be a beautiful block. Thank you!

I was wondering how many quilting folks would choose any fancy machine embroidery stitching for the circle 🔵 🔴

I have never seen a Dresden Plate made with straight ends before. This has given me many ideas of how to jazz it up in ways that I can't do on Dresden Plates with rounded or pointed ends. Thank you. I like your method very much.

My favorite tool for making the centers of Dresden plates (and other round appliqués) are the Karen Kay Buckleys perfect circles, and bigger perfect circles. You MUST introduce us all to your cat sometime (please) He was begging to be fed in one of your other videos but we never got to see him. I love all fur babies. My 3 dogs are my quilting assistants (though I don't know if they always assist, or if at times they get in the way. No worries I wouldn't quilt without them!
As an add on if you don't mind hand sewing you can also English Paper Piece your dresdens!

Thank you for watching and supporting our little channel.
@@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509 I have made larger dresdens both by making my own templates, or using other shapes like large pentagons and fussy cutting fabric for the center which is great looking. Many EPP dresdens are not named dresdens, but coffin shapes, and so on so you have to look around for them. I love to hand sew at night and these are a GREAT way to use up scraps. Maybe I will take some photos and post to the Facebook page.
@@shannonbrown7488 Hi Shannon! That would be awesome, please post your picture there. Thank you for replying to me!

Wonderful tutorial as always! I made an old fashioned quilt called grandmother's Donut. It was identical to yours but without the center. I made it out of old fashioned looking fabrics and sewed the Donuts onto unbleached muslin. It's one of my favorite quilts!

I loved the Dresden you made today. It felt so old fashioned in a good way that reminded me of my grandmother Ada Ann and her daughter (my mother) Ruth. This is why I am Ruth Ann! And why I love to do sewing, crochet and so (sew?) much more. Looking forward to seeing you again next week and seeing and making that quilt behind you this fall. What’s it called? Thanks again.

I attach mine with just a "big stitch quilting stitch" (Running stitch?) they end up fine even if as a block they are not attached as well as if they are sewn by machine, but by the time they are quilted, they are fine.

@@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509 I've tried this with hexis. I've been multiple carpal tunnel surgeries and hand sewing is bad on my hands. The Dresden's I've made so far I've used double sided fusible and used a blanket stitch on the outer edge sewing it to the block. Once quilted I sew around outer edges of the petals and leave the plate alone with it's top stitching. I enjoy the utube channels to see the different ways everyone has of making the same block. I don't have a huge scrap pile as I piece a lot of my backs from the front top scraps. Which usually becomes a new quilt top lol.
Again a great video. Nice hack ideas for the circle . I love the Dresden pattern but this one is new to me. Going to try it with some of my decorative stitches on my machine that I have never used. It is going to be a challenge on one of my other channels coming up. Thanks for taking time to give us this video
Hi Connie. I'm glad that you liked this! There are a bunch of different ideas for making that circle suck as using a glass or can for your template. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead. Thank you for watching and your kind comments.

Hi over there. Here in Germany we are about to get the next heat weave with over 30 degrees, but the most scary part of it is...no rain or the drought. Speaking about the Dresden pattern this scares me too. I wonder if I would be able to sew it that way to get a fine round circle and not wonky one. Besides the circle in the middle this stitching around uhhhhh wouldnt it be better to sew 2 circles (fabric + ironing fleece) right sights together with a cut on the ironing fleece and turn it inside out?

Morning Brenda, thank you so much for sharing. I’m a bit late commenting as I’ve been watching with my grandson (almost two) and as you were sewing he was gleefully making wheeeee! noises 🤣🤣 I’ll watch again later.
I have mainly used templates and paper piecing to make my Dresden. I love sewing the centre circles. When I was teaching I used to call the threads to sew around the circles “any what thread” because it didn’t really matter what sort was used.
I hadn’t thought of using interfacing before, it makes perfect sense! What weight of interfacing do you use or doesn’t it matter?.
I’ll need to practice again on the machine. I think my seams might have been a bit off as I couldn’t get them to lie flat once sewn into a circle.
See you in your next video

Brenda, what is the angle you use for each shape?
Hello Diane! I'm glad that you like our video! I have used a few different angles for this series. The series gives ideas as well as templates, if needed, in the show notes. The idea was to pull out those Dresden rulers and learn to play with them. The next virtual sew date is on July 8, 2023 at 9:00 am to 5:00 pm MST. If you are interested, please come and sew with us. I hope you have a happy week ahead. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
I really enjoyed this but am curious as to what is "win bob and chicken all the time?"
Hello Rebecca! I'm so happy that you liked this video. This is the first Dresden that I learned to make and is a very old fashioned idea. We started a Facebook group and I'm trying to figure out when to have our first virtual sew date. I'm hoping this Facebook group is a fun place to share what you are working on and hang out to sew. LOL, Winning Bobbin Chicken is when you get to finish your project before you have to wind another bobbin. I have been losing at bobbin chicken for months, LOL. I hope you have a joyful week ahead! Thank you for watching and supporting our little channel.
Brenda, I have my Mom's Singer 301 machine. It's the machine I learned to sew on. Looks like the same machine you use. Is it!? I noticed you changed feet. Can you help me finding additional feet for my Mom's machine. Enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you

We started a Facebook group and I'm trying to figure out when to have our first virtual sew date. I'm hoping this Facebook group is a fun place to share what you are working on and hang out to sew. The Black Singer 301A was my mom's too and I learnt how to sew with it. My husband found the extra feet on Amazon as Universal feet for a slant shank machine. I hope you have a joyful week ahead! Thank you for watching and supporting our little channel.
Good morning Brenda......love the quilt behind you. I see you start and stop with a scrap piece to save thread. I am wondering if you are familiar with leaders and enders? Several quilters use this method, including Bonnie Hunter......a wonderful way to use scraps and make 2 projects at the same time.
I am chuckling as she usually does. Someone complained it confused them when she did so she hasn’t lately but I thought it was a great idea.

😍 What do you do with the circle you cut off the back of the dresden? Scrap?🤔
Hello Melisa! I'm so happy that you liked this video. This is the first Dresden that I learned to make and is a very old fashioned idea. We started a Facebook group and I'm trying to figure out when to have our first virtual sew date. I'm hoping this Facebook group is a fun place to share what you are working on and hang out to sew. Sometimes, I use the piece I cut out of the back as an Art quilt block or just make a smaller reverse quilt block. Sometimes, I use it as scrape fabric, too. I hope you have a joyful week ahead! Thank you for watching and supporting our little channel.
Facing question- I have been hodge-podge crumb quilting for over a year, using all the scraps- then I used fusible interfacing on some of the areas that were 1/2 inch- I want to to stay put ,stick together and stay stitched(?)- do you think it is
Necessary ? Could it be too stiff? I have no idea what I’m doing-ever!
Hi Martha! That is an interesting question. If the interfacing is really a light weight, it should be fine. If the interfacing is a heat fusible, it may get a little stiff. Even light weight Heat and bond gets too hard to make a cuddly quilt. This would be an excellent question for the Facebook group. I hope that answers your question. I hope you have a cheerful week ahead. Thanks for watching and your question.
Hello, thank you for this tutorial😊and I too, I see along with others,would love to try the quilt behind you! Do you also have a tutorial on this or will you?

I'd love not to trim that fat quarter, put four together, and another in the middle for a baby-sized top. I think that would be so much fun. I'm going to look for the nosegay videos, because I'm sure you did it. =)
