I am saving this to my "If I could sew" board. I love fabric quarters because there are so many wonderful prints and colors in the stores. I would like a pillow of this design with nautical prints and another one with beach prints. But I don't know how to sew!

I love your color scheme--and the decorations in the center medallion! Quick tip I learned a few years ago for the Dresden Plate design....instead of a point at the top, "flatten" the pattern out so that it is a wedge cut out pieces, fold in half with right sides together, stitch 1/4" seam across the top ONLY clip at folded end without cutting stitching, flip, and voila, the point appears magically with no raw edges. When you sew the other pieces together , the entire piece is without raw edges, except for the center, which is covered by the medallion ) Easy Peasy, and you can still topstitch for decorative effect.

I love this idea of using a specialty stitch on the petals! My machine does a lot of cool stitches. I could use plain colors and use different stitches on the "petals" and have a different but similar creation! Great idea starter! Thanks! Cindy https://www.etsy.com/shop/321Creations

This is definitely something I want to make. I want to learn how to do the dresden and this will be a perfect way to learn!

Love this look. Got some left over fabric. Would be a good way to use.

Not so sure about that one. I do have a couple of quilts I have made that I loved it on!

Love the design. May try it but probably without the buttons. Too distracting from the design to me. Just not a button person!

I like how colorful the Dresden Plate is but on Burlap? I know manufacturers want use to like and use it - BUT - how cozy is that itchy fabric to lean up against? I will use a loose woven linen instead.

Like the Dresden Plate, but on Burlap? How cozy can that be against the skin? I will use a loosely woven linen for my pillow base.

I'd leave off the buttons and flower - they are distracting from rather than adding to the pattern.

The Dresden Plate has always been one of my favorite quilt patterns. Love the pillow with all the bling.
