Scrappy Saturday Sewing ~ Dresden Plate Blocks

 

Today for Scrappy Saturday I am appliqueing my Dresden Plates

 to my alternate blocks in my

Scrappy Irish Chain & Dresden Plates Quilt

After pressing the fan blades circles and making the round center 

for the plates, I pressed and found the center of each block as I worked.

I used dots of applique glue top hold my pieces in place while I 

attached the plates to the blocks with a machine blanket stitch.

To make the green center for my plates, 

I used the machine interfacing and turning method.

Then I sewed the round green circle for the center of the plates 

and machine appliqued using the same method 

I used the interfaced and turning method to make my center plates.

Is anyone interested in a tutorial for this process?

If so, let me know in the comments.

Dresden Plate Block One is done!

Another thunderstorm is moving in so I am turning off my computer.

We had strong storms yesterday in Massachusetts 

and thousands in my state are without power. 

Here we had tree debris down in out yard but we did not lose power.

May everyone stay safe and well.
