Tiny Little Dresden

My obsession with tiny pieces of fabric has spilled over into the cuttings from Hugs & Kisses - a teenie, tiny, adorable little Dresden Plate.
















There wasn't much left from my cuttings but all you need for each petal are scraps 1" x 1.5" so I had enough to make at least one, especially with the addition of a few new fabrics. I think there will be enough for a few more.

I have no idea what it will be used for but just couldn't resist the temptation to try one. I thought maybe as the blossom to go atop my baskets but it's too big for the block.





There are 19 petals and the plate itself ends up just about 4.5" wide. Sooooo adorable. There's a downloadable tutorial on the Crafty Fox blog if you are feeling anal...














So many different looks from the same fabric. I'm thinking that there might be a bit of a sampler quilt that comes from all of these little experiments that I've been undertaking. Whatever it will be it's fun!....M

Why Thank You! I believe I AM feeling a little anal...plus I have a quilt that's on the verge of done that I may add about nine of these little babies too!
Thanks for the cuteness!

That is very cute. There is something satisfying about using tiny scraps to make a cute tiny block.

Oh wow! Such a sweet block! Sometimes the blocks look extra special when made in the small version.:)

I can't believe that I don't own this book yet. The bags are calling me loudly.
