You might want to get the Dresden Plate Design Book before you choose your shape collection(s). (PDF, 74 pages) Update April 2025 – Inklingo Design Books are no longer free.

Choice of Methods – Hand or Machine Piecing

I designed this Dresden Plate Basic shape collection for quilters who prefer to piece as much as possible. The only appliqué is the circle in the middle (choice of sizes). It includes a stunning variety of blades, including a curved blade.

You can even mix two or three blade shapes in each plate.

Since the plates are pieced into curved background pieces, the plate is centered perfectly every time.

All of the methods are illustrated in the design book (74 pages).

Love the lines. Quilt more!

You will be happy with the results you get with sewing lines and matching marks printed on the fabric.

You can have it all.

If you order the Appliqué collection and the Fancy Pieced collection, you will have it all! (The Fancy Pieced Collection includes everything in the Basic Pieced collection.)
