How pretty! I am seeing a sunflower with shades of brown and cream and yellow background. Thank you Jenny!!
Belynda Mulloy that would be pretty!
Sounds like a great color mix, Belynda!
WoW Belynda what a BeAuTiFuL idea! My niece just "lost" a little 8 day old boy the they named "Sunny". I think a "Sunny"Flower quilt would be a very nice gift for her.
And this is why I watch: if there's a shortcut, an easier method for something that looks complex....Jenny has got you covered. Thank you. I now feel that even I could do a passable job on a dresden!
I looked forward to this tutorial all week. I’ve deleted Facebook. I’ve deleted Instagram. I don’t have TV, but all of the negativity just seeps through. Your tutorials are instructive and entertaining so I can block out the world for awhile. Thank you for your continued happy presence. As for this quilt, I loved it! I want the bird fabric! I’d change the white to something else, but that’s the beauty of these tutorials. You are on screen sewing yours and the ideas (the positive, creative ideas) just flow into my head! I just really needed this this week. Thanks!
I agree. Quilting is my happy place away from all the turmoil.

"Line 'em up, lean back, hold on! 😬 and sew along... sew again". Should have called this one the "Dresden Bronco" 🐎 🤭 haha. I love the fabric and the pattern. Absolutely gorgeous, thanks Jenny. 😘
Now that’s clever! The Dresden bronco! Makes my Texas heart sing! Line ‘em up! Lean back and hold on! is exactly what you do before a bucking bronco ride!
Thank you for not rushing through this tutorial. Love all your creations.

I love these tutorials and can’t wait till Friday to see what they’ve come up with and I’m never disappointed. I agree with you on the slower pace that she went on this one. Sometimes she seems in such a hurry. It was so pleasant to watch. I chuckled a few times. Jenny is so great to do these tutorials for us all. A great big THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is what I do if I want a circle that won't fray or come undone (I think you call it needle turn if you do it by hand): I cut out a piece of cardboard or plastic template sheet in the exact size of the circle. Cut the fabric out about 1/4" larger than the template. Sew long stitches all the way around the circle with needle and thread, with a knot in one end and leaving a long tail of thread when you finish going around the circle. Place the template in the center of the fabric and pull gently until all the fabric goes up and over the template. Take the template out, reposition the fabric if necessary, and press. Cut the thread tail off and you have a nice circle that you can machine stitch down close to the edge. Great quilt, Jenny! Someone must be having some vivid dreams to think this one up!
I’ve done this too for the center of a Dresden, my grandma called them yo-yos.
cool tip!
or use an interfacing like for applique
Oh I need your humor! I love that a circle can just be about anything! Oatmeal container to the jelly roll to the blue tape roll. My mind of quilting!
“Lean back, hold on and sew along”! OMGosh I was cracking up because that’s exactly how I sew my strips. Another great tutorial. A singleton of this Dresden with a small border would make a cute dolly quilt for that special little girls’ favorite doll. I have to find a girl - we have all grandsons! LOL.
I have a very tattered Dresden quilt from my now passed grandma; she would have been 105 this year and it was her grandmother's quilt. It was never finished, and pieces were in a brown paper bag. It has ALWAYS been intimidating to me. I don't know that I will finish that quilt, it's so delicate, however, this tutorial has given me encouragement to make my own Dresden plate quilt. My grandma/great great grandma's quilt had hand embroidered stitches of various types to sew the plate onto the background fabric; all in black embroidery floss. I think this would be beautiful with the same concept, (like Ms. Jenny Doan did with the "Stars and Stitches" quilt). It's now officially on my list of "to do's". I best finish the other 7 quilts that I've started since this crazy Covid Pandemic mess started, LOL.
Hi, Shelley! While those delicate pieces may be hard to finish, we're sure you'll be honoring her very well with your own Dresden Plate quilt!
" LEAN BACK " ..... Love your sense of humor - 🤣
Jenny is such a hoot! "I can't DRAW & TALK at the same time!!"
Jenny, you are the VERY BEST medicine there is for quilters during COVID-19, you really are!
I'll be ABSOLUTELY honest.....when I first seen this video.....as soon as it started I said to myself "WOW.....I don't think this is going to be a tutorial that I am going to put on my To Do List.....because I'm sure it's going to be way too time consuming or difficult to do!! "
Shame on me!!!......for thinking like that!
I should KNOW better by now that our awesome/wonderful Jenny NEVER EVER makes quilts that are TOO hard for us to do!!!
How is it that Jenny gives MILLIONS of us the courage to tackle any and all of the tutorials here on MSQC??? Simple, she has this amazing way about her that not only give you the confidence, she let's us know that it's okay to make mistakes or try something we aren't sure of!!!
Lastly, Jenny you remind me so much of my mom......God Bless her, she never ever thought that her daughters couldn't do anything they put their mind to. Over the years, I've had some serious medical challenges and through it all, right up until the day Mama died of throat cancer, she was telling me " You can do anything!!"
It's been 14 yrs since my Mom died, but I can still hear that confident voice of her each and every single time I tackle something new!!
God Bless you Jenny for all the wonderful things you done or are doing for everyone whose lives you've touched with your amazing talent. You are amazing! :)
Thank you so much, holiday 2406... Jenny does make everything possible with the ways she comes up with! Glad she reminds you of your mother and how she encouraged you all the way through your life, and hope we'll be seeing you for many videos to come!
I am so glad to see you using heat and bond scraps to anchor the dresden. I do this all the time with other projects too and its so helpful! I never toss my scrap heat and bond. Fun project! Thank you!
This would be perfect in Christmas prints. You can make Christmas wreaths. Or just make one plate.. Make table runners. This gave me lots of ideas!! Thanks Jenny!!
Dear Jenny, thank you for being there and making our days more happy. Love from Chile ... I enjoy your way of teaching. Thank you.
Just went to college graduation for my art degree and I’m ready for the quilting challenge I love making quilts
Congratulations 🎉👏 Madison on getting your Art Degree!!
@@jenniferbassett3001 I second that!!!! Congrats Madison Degraffenreid!!
Congratulations!
🎉🎊🎉😸
Congratulations!!!
Jenny, I laughed out loud several times during this tutorial when your excellent tips were accompanied with comical images. Thanks. Jenny. I really needed this. And this quilt is gorgeous!
Yes, i agree.
@@vickirobles3406 hello thanks very much hope you will check out to my channel let us be connected I live in Africa have you ever visited African
Love Dresdens and you have started something new! Striped blades! How cool and colorful! Thanks, Jenny!
Dresden plate is the best and Jenny always comes up with the best variations. I have made her dresden turkey, patchwork dresden, and I also made Christmas wreath dresden wall hanging. Its such a fun block to make. I love this new variation too!
that's Lovely! the centre circle would also look good with 4 gentle curves to make it look like a flower too.
Oh my gosh. Brilliant use of fusible scraps for the tips of the Dresden! 🤯
Thanks Jenny😊 I love traditional dresdens but looking at your straight ones, love that even more! Gives a modern twist to an oldie but goodie. 🇦🇺❤️
Thank you Jenny for dispelling all the horrors of Dresden for us. Now, if anyone is a card maker out there like i am, spray starch your material and get a circle die from your essential dies that we all need and because it is starched, the die machine should cut out the perfect circle for you. I happened to get with orders of dies a few years ago, 12 bottles of this Terial Magic (spray starch) through my various orders and that's why i have decided to learn how to quilt, to use up this spray starch. Lol. It was to be used with dies to cut out material so that you could applique shapes for mixed media. Sorry Jenny for hogging your bonnie quilt but hey i hope that it helps someone out there. Because of you Jenny, i have found a 1/4" mark on my sewing machine and i've also found that i can make it stop with the needle down as well. My embroidery machine was fancy when i bought it, but i only sort of used it for embroidering and not for actual sewing until i started to make my first quilt here and my old faithful wee husqvarna that i had for other 30 years blew up on me and i couldn't justify another sewing machine when i have two embroidery machines. I am at the moment trying to baste around a kingsize (mistake, i got carried away with myself to make this fit my grandson's double bed and forgot that i still had borders to put on it), but i don't i will be able to quilt it on my machine as there just isn't enough "throat plate" ??? room to shove the bit i'm not doing into. I think i will end up tying it together to keep it together.Anyway thank you flower for a lovely and different take on the Dresden plate as normally i had only seen the blades as one piece of fabric. Keep safe lovely lady, from Norah, Glenochil Village, Central Scotland
"You can get addicted to the Dresden", how true that statement is! I love the different twists you can do with the Dresden template. I saw red, white, and blue in my mind with this one. The different widths would make it look like it had lots of movement. Hmm. I really want to try today, but, alas, I have another project (well, actually about 5) that I told myself I would finish first. Thanks, Jenny and team!
So true! And we'd love to see it when you get that red, white and blue Dresden going. What are your 5 projects that you're working on?
Missouri Star Quilt Company The disappearing shoofly, cheater fabric flag, disappearing 4-patch, the hexagon that is completely sewn into a "free flow" (game on my iPad) pattern, log cabin table runner, patching jeans for hubby, and others I can't remember, but know I started them and they are in a box, hopefully safe and all pieces together. Oh, and I made 4 or 5 Dresden plates from some Oriental fabric with different backgrounds, one finished, and the others waiting to be sewn on their background.
@@MissouriQuiltCo I have a couple of red, white and blue projects to do, also. I am recovering from some surgery so I’m doing the little things on some projects that need to be done before I actually sit down to the sewing machine. I’m working on a Dresden wall hanging with Christmas fabrics. Lots of turning and ironing to do because I’m making four. I will turn them into Christmas wreaths. They will be for next years Christmas gifts.
Okay Jenny, I have watched the Dresden Blooms Quilt tutorial 3 or 4 times. You are convincing me that even I can do the Dresden design! I have always loved this pattern, so I am going to give it a shot. I mean I only have maybe 1 or 20 jelly rolls in my stash. I will have to send pictures sometime of my "collection" of fabric. And this will be only the fabric "out". Does not count the UFO's that are in the closet and in the dresser and a few other places that we will not mention!!! You are such a joy to watch and unfortunately, for you, you remind me of me! I enjoy life and I enjoy "watching birds". I love all the tutorials that you and your wonderful gals and guys produce. You all are my "you tube" family! Thank you.
Every time I think I know what I want to make you have another that I love just as much! I love watching your tutorials they give me so much inspiration and you make me feel confident enough try them! Thank you so much!
Ok but that point in the top of the Dresden reveal blew my mind! so clever.
I am so happy that you are working with older patterns. Not a big fan of the modern stuff, as lovely as they are, I am an old fashioned gal
What a joy you are! I hope you know that you are loved by many, many people. Your sense of humor brightens our day as you talk to us making us feel like a best friend. Bless you, your family and MSQC team as you have blessed us.
I recently told my sister that I’d make her a quilt in any block she wanted as long as it wasn’t expert level, like a Dresden or something. 😎 But after watching this tutorial, I think I can actually master even a Dresden! 💗 Thank you, Jenny, for being such a wonderful teacher!! 💕🌷🌸
Thank you Jenny! You make piecing and quilting so much fun! 🎆 ❤️
I love the Dresden pattern but never felt I could do it justice. Jenny and her team figure out these amazing short cuts that look so complex yet are much easier. So I'm headed to MSQC to order the Dresden ruler, can't wait to get started. Thank you Jenny for all your awesome tutorials!
It made me think of my Christmas Tree skirt. If you only did 19, used a Christmas fabric and left it open it would make a beautiful skirt for a tree.
Lean back, lean back! My new theme song ❤️
I love a Dresden! This quilt is so beautiful !! I could see this as an I spy lap quilt for a child. So versatile, so fun!
I love your tutorials xxx. Is it just me that thought of Ross from Friends when Jenny was saying “and pivot”
Love this idea!
I am not a designer, but I can visualize a really sweet tree skirt with these quirky Dresdens💕
I really love this one. Both the pattern and fabric collection. Thank you Jenny
Nuts!!! Now I HAVE to make one!!
You are such a fun person to listen to and to watch. I love your tutorials. And I love this pattern!
I made a Christmas Dresden for me and my DH as he wanted a Christmas quilt....I sewed 800 wedges..25 blocks! And I hand appliquéd the plates and the circles, it was a labor of love that I did over two years! He loved it. Sorry we can’t post picture here. I thought I’d never want to see another Dresden again, but I have to say I love this one! Lol
Quite the story with making that first quilt, Ann! He BETTER love it! 😁
Thank you Jenny for doing this tutorial, I am just a beginner for quilting and my granddaughter picked this pattern from a magazine, oh I am so scared but this really helped me thank you for all your tutorials.
Love watching you do your thing! Excellent teacher. Thank you for that!
WOW! Striking!
Ani’s first sharing this quilt. I have a Dresden template somewhere that I have never used. I will definitely try this out when I’m done with the quilts I’ve already cut. Thanks for making it fun and do-able! I love your humor...you’re my kind of gal!
Hi Jenny, the colors so beautyful in that quilt. I realy like to watch you show us how to make all thosr brautyful quilts look so easy. Thanks for sharing your knowlage with all of us.
I love this look. You have me checking out everything Dresden Plate. What fun.
I haven’t quilted in years and your instruction is PERFECT thank you
My grandmother made me two Dresdens many years ago.....this is a beautiful re-make of that classic pattern! Thank you!
Only WOOOOOOOOOW , besides speechless, congratulations, Jenny, how wonderful is that ?
Love it, thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖🤗
I don't think I'm afraid of trying a Dresden now. Yet again Jenny you've made something daunting look fun and easy. Love ya work 💕
Wow! This is stunning! Love it Miss Jenny
Thanks Jenny!
Genius! Thank you SO much for this great new Dresden tutorial.
Love the references to being left handed and brains working differently that pepper your videos! As a fellow leftie in a family of creatives I love it.
This will work perfectly with my animals around the world novelty fabrics.
Thank you so much beautiful block God bless you and your family
The jewel-tone backgrounds really make it pop, fun quilt Jenny.
I have always been intimidated by Dresdens and have never made one. But this tutorial made me want to make this one. Have to get the Dresden ruler. I don’t have a jellyroll but I have a stash of fabrics I have been collecting that would look perfect with this pattern. Thank you for solving my pattern search.
I’m old in years but new to quilting. I love this quilt but my skills aren’t quite up to making it. I’m saving this video so I can make it when I have better skills. This one reminds me of my mother. ♥️
Just give it a try.
You will want to rewatch how that peak is formed. It looks complicated but is actually very easy to do. Once you managed your first blade, the rest follows.
(Tip: you don't need to put together a lot of strips. Dresdens also look good with just 1 fabric for each blade. Try alternating blades, eg. one entirely red, one entirely blue, one entirely white one entirely green, one red, one blue, one white, one green, etc. You just need to make sure that the number of colors divides 20)
If I can do it, you can do it also.
This is another great project have had a Dresden template for about 20 years and never used it I think this will get me going ,can use scrap pieces for this 😀✂️
Happy birthday, Jenny!! 🍷🎂
Jennie's videos have keep me going the last couple of months and that is no exaggeration.
I love you jenny!!! And i love dresdens!! That was super cool! Thxs!
I love this quilt and I love making Dresdens. For the center, I like the method that Jenny used in a video from about 10 years ago (!!), using a cardboard template. I prefer when the center circle is not raw edged, but turned under instead. Either way, this is a fabulous quilt, and a great video. I'm going to make this one for sure.
We're thinking you mean this video here: th-cam.com/video/lcy_p4pryE4/w-d-xo.html (time stamp to the center circle part)
@@MissouriQuiltCo That's the one! I've used that method many times, in fact I have a couple of cardboard templates that I've used over and over for the centers. Thanks!! :)
That’s really beautiful - thank you
Thank you, Jenny! I definitely want to try to make this one. I just love it. You and your team are wonderful.
I am learning so much, haven't made a quilt yet, but thanks to you, I know I can! I especially love it when you're joined by Misty and Natalie. So cool to see the different approaches. Blessings.
Love love this 🤩
Another great video, thank you.
Another beautiful quilt Jenny thank you
I enjoyed this tutorial very much. I have made one from your pattern and instructions before for a friend and soon I will make one for me. I love both patterns . Thank you Jenny for all your wonderful tricks and teachings. I learn so much from you.♥️😊
I love Jenny’s videos. I think I am going to try this pattern .
Brilliant idea to vary dresden really like it Barbara
My new Block Idea Book came today. I saw this in the book so I wanted to look up the tutorial. Thanks Jenny!
I love this Jenny! I'm definitely putting it on the list of things I'm probably never going to do, but I want to!!!
Beautiful...love it
I can see a grandmother's fan quilt evolving
Sew good to have a left handed quilter on TH-cam! I'm also a lefty (my whole family is). I noticed that you use the rotary cutter in either hand & scissors in your right. My sister did everything with her left, Mom scissor cut & ironed right handed& I'm in between.
Looking forward to making this I have a stack of jelly rolls.
love this quilt idea. That is a great way to use up the scraps instead of pining.
I just discovered how easy and fun is to make a project with dresden plates, thanks!
What a neat idea! This will be a fun project!
I love the Dresden and so easy.
I just find you so infectious to watch, your tutorials are absolutely fantastic and I’ve learnt so much. You make learning so much fun with your humour as well. Your the best teacher online.
Love the whimsical look it gives....how about using a black fabric background and different solid coordinating circles for the center, which would give you a look of the Dresden floating on the background...you could also look into using different size Dresdens and have fun placing them whimsical on the solid background.
To get a finished edge on the center circle, you could use very lightweight fusible interfacing, put fusing side to right side of fabric, 1/4 inch seam, slit interfacing, turn inside in and fuse down. May need to clip seam allowance to get smooth edge. I'm just not liking raw edges. Beautiful quilt and another excellent tutorial.
All of your tutorials are so fun and informative! I love this pattern and plan to start this pattern (similar) next week. Love that you don't have to use all the 'fancy' tools that I feel like I need to buy to make a project i.e. coffee cup, roll of tape, etc. I've learned so much from your tutorials..not just quilts but other projects,too!
Jenny, This is great. Thank you. I am going to do one with Christmas print and on with fall colors.
Jenny, another wonderful tutorial! ❤️❤️💞💞
What a lovely quilt and a wonderful tutorial with so many good advices.Don´t want to miss one of them.
Love this too;You give such easy instruction for a complicated looking pattern.
I have your Dresden template, and have made the Checkered Dresden. I will definitely be doing this one too. I'm in love with dresdens 💖
How wide is the ruler? I have one but it only allows for ten blocks not twenty. I thought they were similar sized but apparently not
I love the look of this Dresden Plate! Can't wait to try it!
How Fun an Colorful is that..
We Could Do Some Christmas Colors, an Could Be A Dresden Wreath.. 🎄👏👏😀 Christmas🎄🎅🔔❄ in JULY..
Great ideas!!
You could sandwich those big blocks before sewing down the main piece. Then you'd be topstitching & quilting at the same time. Start on one blade at the edge of the center, work your way around going down & back up between each blade, when you reach your starting place, go around your circle. Then combine the pieces with some sashing - it would be adorable & quilted!!
Thanks, Jenny! 😄
Happy birthday!!!🎁
I'm excited to make this!!
Nicely done Jenny!!
