Modern Dresden
6-Hour Workshop
10 am - 4 pm EDT, Saturday, October 17

Create a modern Dresden wall hanging or full-sized quilt with no fussy layout and a choice of multiple backgrounds. We will learn one edge technique for the Dresdens with multiple-sized "plates." Use bright, large print fabrics or subtle hues or even solids. The backgrounds are created with large squares and rectangles for easy construction. Ideal for scraps or favorite fabrics. Backgrounds can be from multiple fabrics or just a few.
