Dresden Plates - Half Day
Dresden Plates - the words evoke images of beautiful, elegant patterns on fine china. By combining selective cutting of individual blades with hand piecing and hand appliqu, yards of fabric can be transformed into stunning Dresden Plate quilts. The resulting plates will range from elegant to whimsical depending on the fabric choices. Students will begin a two-plate wallhanging in class, allowing them to learn the techniques on a manageable project. Emphasis will be on the blade-cutting portion of the project, with other techniques demonstrated; students leave class with detailed instructions for finishing the wallhanging. Book, Dresden Plates of Distinction, published October 2001. Template fee. [B,I,A]
