A Dresden lampshade?


Val is just cool like that.

Leigh used the ruler to create snake trail blocks, plus, she did a little dresden math for us!

Amy did hers using a quilt as you go method.

Elisa shared some about her process.

Katie did a little cheater improv… for those of us who are a little scared of going full on crazy, we can still use a ruler and get that improv look.

Emily made a beautiful table topper in a traditional Dresden style. Aren’t the colors just beautiful?

Melissa‘s take is to use the Dresden traditionally, with a little extra something in the center.

And finally, Brooke‘s color cog is simply stunning.

We hope you are continuing to find lots of Dresden inspiration!

Lee showed us how to use the traditional shape and give it a whole new look by fussy-cutting your wedges.

Kati‘s take was to use it to make tumblers for a baby quilt.

Victoria (one of our judges) showed some beautiful examples.

And I think Tanya‘s idea is genius: use the ruler to help you with foundation paper piecing.

Are you feeling inspired yet?
