Dresden Heart with Liz Granberg-Jerome
Create a delightful Dresden Heart that can be appliqued onto a background and incorporated into a wall-hanging, pillow cover, or table topper, or several can be added as blocks in a quilt. This asymmetrical heart is made with blades similar to a Dresden Plate, but with individual foundation templates for each blade. Let Liz guide you in creating this fun project with lots of tips & tricks to make it go together easily. Download the free pattern at http://quiltingupacreek.com/freepatterns/dresdenheart.pdf and have two copies ready for class. If possible print one in reverse to have two sets of blades--one set for the right and one set for the left side of the heart.
Wednesday, October 15 from 1:00 to 4:00 at the Lumberyard Arts Center

Several of these Dresden Heart blocks were snowballed and combined with 54-40 or Fight blocks in this two-block quilt layout that has the illusion of curves, but has none.
