Next weekend I will be teaching a variation of the Dresden Plate block. Yesterday I did the final preparation for the workbook to accompany the class. This involved making up the project and taking photographs step-by-step.

As we are fast heading towards Christmas I used some seasonal fabrics from my stash. The result is this very jolly cushion.

Once again I am pleased with the design and it has inspired me to research more block designs based on this old favourite. I came across a Missouri Star video that featured a variation called ‘The Beach Ball Dresden’ by ‘My Sister and Me’.
