Placemats And Hotplates And Giant Dresdens Bring You In To A Different World.

It’s the beautiful Aqua color of the Dresden centers that’s so appealing. Dresdens give you cheeky placemats and hotplates with side pockets for utensils, and even matching napkin rings from the same fabric. The quilt is made with giant dresden plates.

The finished size of the quilt is 72″ square, and each giant Dresden is machine appliqued onto a 36″ squared background. Imagine just one giant Dresden on a 36″ background as an adorable table topper.

Besides the pattern covering almost anything your creativity could turn to, it makes it super easy to make using the Thimble rulers and 10″ squares. Use 10″ squares from diferent fabric prints and colors for the quilt,the smaller dresdens are made with 5″ squares and the small Thimble Ruler. Get The Thimble Ruler Here.
Use this ruler to makes stacks of giant burting Dresden plates. Nine of these sizeded Dresden platesare sufficient to make a kingsize quilt.

Using the circle rulers can’t get any easier for making the smaller Dresden centers. Get The Circle Ruler Here
The magic tools to bring your dresdens to life! Georgous!

These Dresden plates just bring welcome to these placemats and hotplates.
For the placemats all you need are 4 fat quarters for the tops. Place pockets on the side for utensils.
Make the matching napkin holders.
We use old floursack dishcloths as napkins too. Look at this great idea. Matching the napkin holders to the set of placemats and hotplates just bring these treasured vintage foursack dishcloths to life.
The napkin holders match the placemats beautifully, and the vintage floursack napkin just adds that extra special!
Now there would be somthing missing if you didn’t bring the matching hotplate to the table!
