We are very pleased to be able to offer these Large Dresden Plate paper pieces.

This LARGE sized flower is made up of 12 petals and has an overall size of 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter (at the widest point).

The central Circle is appliqued on top and is of course supplied with the petals in the packets.

 

PLEAD NOTE:

The finished flowers are appliqued onto a background fabric (like all Dresden Plate flowers!). It is advised to leave the paper pieces in place for the applique stage, because it keeps the petals in shape and stops the flower from being distorted!! The papers are removed afterwards by trimming back the excess backing fabric (behind the flower) to expose the paper pieces.

 

Of course the Petals can also be used to make 1/4 Plates or ‘Fans’ (which would come out at 5 inches square (12.5 cm))!

 

Because the Dresden Plate pattern involves paper piecing with curved papers we recommend this pattern only for  quilters that already have some paper piecing experience!

 

You can choose from 3 different packet sizes to suit your needs:

• a packet containing 1 flower
• a packet containing 3 flowers
• a packet containing 9 flowers
