I would like to show you my Dresden Plate lap quilt which I have just finished. It is such a delightful pattern and I might try something with the tucks in as Jenny demonstrates.     May I say how much I enjoyed today's workshop of Jenny's Origami Hexagon.  we could not have a - it was just lovely.  Many thanks.

have completed my first Dresden Plate block and made it into a cushion.  Using the Creative Grids ruler, which I found to be excellent, and a Moda charm pack "Indigo Crossing".  I machine pieced then hand appliqued.   I was pleased with the result, as I had always thought this block to be very difficult.  The cushion is a gift for my friend who has a seaside cottage at Polzeath in Cornwall, where, I am hoping, it will fit in very nicely.

Your site is such an inspiration, I always check for tips and inspiration before I start a new project.

Best wishes

These traditional patterns work so very well for scrap quilts but here are some that Valerie put together from petals sewn by one of her students: The challenge was to see what different settings worked and also how to use up the various petals which had been made at random!
