Dynamic Dresdens18-pattern

Donuts (20″ diameter rings)

Each 20″ ring requires 1/2 yd (or 2 fat quarters) of fabric.
Background requires 1yd. Example is 34″w x 34″l. Make it larger if you wish!

• For each ring, cut (4) 9″ x 18″ strips of Dresden fabric, then cut (20) wedges for each ring as shown.

• Fold wedges lengthwise right sides together and stitch across the wide ends with 1/4” seam allowance and 1.5mm stitch length. Leave thread tails of at least 1/4” at the fold.

• Finger press seam open and flatten the “little hat” or triangle at the point.

• Turn point right side out and gently use pointed tool to create a sharp point. Press.

• Repeat for narrow ends and remaining wedges.

• Sew wedges side-by-side back-stitching at beginning and end of each seam. Press seam allowances to one side. Twenty wedges are needed for each ring.

• Layer quilt top/batting/backing and quilt the quilt.

• Place Dresden rings on the quilted quilt anywhere you wish and stitch in the ditches through Dresdens and the quilted quilt. After stitching a Dresden ditch, fold back a point, then stitch on the quilt over to the next ditch, stitch that ditch and repeat. Only one start and stop is needed for each ring!

• Bind and label your quilt.

Innovative projects and fantastic tips are available in Susan K Cleveland’s Dynamic Dresdens(TM) book and on PiecesBeWithYou.com.

• Interlock Dresden rings for a 3-D effect.

• Integrate partial units into background piecing.

• Create a flat, square quilt with beautiful binding.

• Finish with the “Dresdens over the edge” technique.

It was so much fun. I learned a lot!

It was so much fun. I learned a lot! Judy has lots of patience, especially since everyone in the class was at different skill levels. I would go to another one of her hands on classes in a heartbeat! Thank you Floriani Embroidery for the high loft batting I won. I can’t wait to try it out.

I had never digitized, but had wanted to learn and we had a copy of FTC-U software unopened. I purchased DJ’s masterclass. BOOM!

“At end of Jan., 2023, I attended a 6 hour event hosted by DJ Anderson. It wasn’t hands on but highlighted some of the possibilities with the software and Floriani Embroidery products. I had never digitized, but had wanted to learn and we had a copy of FTC-U software unopened. I purchased DJ’s masterclass. BOOM! I was off and running. There are also many tutorial videos including wonderful ones by Trevor Conquergood on YouTube. In short, it’s a financial investment for sure, but a quality product AND there are clear, helpful tutorials available.”
