Dresden Plate Pillow | Free Pattern
The Dresden Plate circular quilt pattern dates back to the 20s and 30s, and it has stood the test of time to still be relevant today.
Dresden Plate Stats-
- Size: Can be any size. The sides of a wedge are angled. The degree of the angle determines the number of wedges needed to complete the circle.
- Make your own: You can purchase rulers to help you create Dresden plates with accuracy and speed at your local quilt shop or here online.
- Where to use: They are most commonly found on quilts, wall hangings and home decor.
We love Dresden plates for highlighting a variety of small fabric prints. Adding a Dresden plate to a pillow or other home decor makes a big impact. We love the idea of making a pillow for each season, or gifting one to a new homeowner.
