I saw another quilt blogger post about cutting up fabric, changing her mind, tossing the fabric, and then feeling guilty. She ended up posting her triangles of fabric as a giveaway. I was chosen! Thank you Rachel at
Stitched in Color. My first thought was to use them as scraps for postcards. However, once I realized they were all the same size, I thought, "hey!? why not Dresdens!?" They just arrived, and I got to work right away folding them all in half with right side in, and chain pieced them...

| always pretty in the window : ) |
Then I clipped them, flipped them right-side out and once they are pressed, they are all ready to go! I really love the fabrics of some of them. Since they are all 45 degrees, I will need eight to make a plate (8 x 45 degrees = 360 or one circle )

I know, that's not much of a tutorial. But aren't they sweet!? I plan to applique these onto a wallhanging. Maybe I'll hang on to this for when I take my hand quilting class at the Studio on 9th. Oooo I can't wait for that!

These are deadly cute! I'm newish to quilting so, if you were so inclined, I would love a few more details on how you made these.
Great use for those fabrics , the dresdans are so pretty!
Treasure for sure!
wonderful job on the dresdens...one persons scraps......
Hmmm....I kind of like the string of banners! What a great gift!
Brilliant idea! I love Dresdens too. Wow... think of all the time you saved not having to cut these blades. Truly trash to treasure. ;o) (I say this tongue in cheek, because I have the hardest time trashing ANY fabric...lol)
