Dresden, part 1

Here's a step by step of the stacked Dresden pillow I'm working on! I'm so excited about this one!! 

First I cut wedges with an 18 degree ruler and sewed them across the wide end, right sides together. 


Turn the pieces and finger press down the center


Pop the points out so they're nice and crisp... I used my appliqué tool. 


Line the seam up with the center and press... 


Here's some of the outer pieces...


Some sunshine in the middle! The pattern called for a stripe, but I like this just as well :) 

Here's the inner Dresden ring coming together!

So far so good!!! 

Nice and scrappy! I'm amazed that I had 20 different bluish fabrics in my hoard. 

Crazy! How does it still seem like I don't have enough fabric?? 

I think scrap quilts are going to be my friend!! 

Until next time,

Happy Quilting!

Dawn.
