By Candyce Copp Grisham
CTPub.com; $24.95
Embrace the art of quilting with simple
instructions to create particularly beautiful
Dresden plate blocks. Each variation looks
unique and all are astonishingly easy to sew.
Use any and all of the twenty-five design
elements, including the four different edge
treatments, the range of sizes (2”–9 1/2”),
and the amazing variety of traditional (and
nontraditional) patterns, from the sawtooth
to the flying geese. Mix it up even more by
fabric piecing wedges and introducing up
to twenty different colors and patterns for
each of the wedges. Enjoy the options and
the freedom to design with color, pattern,
and shape!
