How to make a Dresden Snowflake block!

[@dorothydishman4664]

Clever....my thoughts are to use blues, silver to replicate a snowflake and extend the use into January wi ter months. Great inspirational idea..thanks.

[@dianepeterson7606]

I agree.

[@joyfuljan77]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@ladyjay6741]

WOW... that is so cute. I really. really like this look. Thank you. Another great tutorial.

[@pampeterson3092]

This “uneven” Dresden is so cute. I love your creativity and enjoy seeing all these little projects you share with us.

[@silverraven2017]

Thank you Jeanette. Wonderful project to make. The addition of the silver snowflakes and the applique in the circle centers is brilliant!! I love it!!❤🪡

[@sandybruce9092]

Another way to make the circle would be to cut the fabric and a piece of fusible the same size, sew all the way around the marked seam line right sides together, make a cut in the fusible only big enough to turn right side out! Finger press it back into a circle (don’t press yet!) and then place and press it to the center of the Dresden’s. I would then hand sew the center down but I’m used to handwork and love to do it but it sure could be sewn down by machine, too!

Really lovely idea. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much. I really love this as a table runner. You are a good teacher.

[@saraharrell1768]

Love snowflakes. I was thinking blue background and white snowflakes

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

I love that idea. A light blue would be pretty or a midnight blue.

[@lyndacottam397]

Wow Jeanette. I really like how you’ve used the different sized dresdens xx

[@marlahanks7278]

I love Dresdens anyway & this is a really pretty application!!

[@lindawilson3770]

Love this. To make the cutting go faster I would fold the charm square in half and cut two at a time.

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

How delightful. Thank you. I start my Christmas projects on Saint Olaf Day.

[@amandastratton8242]

Thank you for great tutorial Jeanette x and for sharing with us x

[@ChristineKrannich]

Definitely one I’ll be making! This is so cute!

[@jenihansen7201]

Thank you so much for showing this. I have a ruler but not a dresden ruler, however, I can make the blocks out of my regular triangle ruler. I really appreciate this.

[@wandawalker4191]

That is beautiful!!

[@phyllisdippert2216]

I love snowflakes and will be making this. Already have the ruler. Thank you!

[@annelies2403]

I Like your variations for "Dresden". I LIVE IN DRESDEN😊

[@maryalicehornsby6636]

Loved watching your Dresden video. How would I make a dresdin plate smaller I wanted to fit on a 10” square

[@colettesorrells9015]

❤❤❤❤

[@denisemutter5841]

Love this and the fabrics used. What range did you choose for this demo? Can’t quite figure it out. Thanks again for a great tutorial Jeanette. 😊😊

[@mayg.m.3767]

I love snowflakes and this is a great and original idea. May I ask you for the pattern of the quilt you commented in your video of snowflakes made in EPP with hexagons ? I’m really interested in it. Thank you so much.

[@angelavorhees5946]

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I was wondering why you didn't just cut some of individual blades different lengths at the beginning? The dresden ruler i have has all increments up to 10". Seems it could save a bit of extra cutting.

[@juliewoods3650]

Pattern ? I love this

[@RJSchott-zo9co]

Thank you! Really enjoyed this. I made one and have a question. My plate is sort of puffy after putting everything together. Is that right or did I do something wrong?

[@SewingStudio]

Here's a response from Jeanette: So pleased you enjoyed the project and have given it a go. Dresden blocks can often look a bit puffy when you layer and start to quilt them, especially in the centres, a few quilting stitches will help to hold it down and flatten it, I tend to do this in (or close to) the seam around the central circle. If however, your Dresden does not lie flat and is looking puffy once you’ve put it together (ie after sewing the blades into the circle) this indicates that your seams are slightly too large. An accurate quarter inch seam is important for these are we are trying to achieve a 360 degree circle when all the pieces are sewn together. If we are too far out, it will not lay flat. To correct this you can unpick a few of the seams and re-sew with a narrower seam. We hope that helps!

[@brendahamrick9337]

Your ruler is crooked.won’t that make a misfit block?

[@WilmaMowbray]

I love your videos, but I have to say that nobody needs an iron. I've made any number of different quilts without ever using an iron. Quilts are meant to use up odd bits of old fabric, not be mathematical puzzles. Throw your iron in the recycling!

[@NickHough-e7w]

Thanks again, feeling very inspired 🙂 My husband and I were over from New Zealand in June and visited your shop in Redruth. I purchased some Christmas fabric then so it looks as if I'm ready to give it a go. Thanks again Janette.

[@sandybruce9092]

Some people prefer to iron, some don’t - for me pressing is an imports t of quilting. Even when I’m hand piecing! Been doing this for about 45 years so……..! Just your and my opinions!
