Remember these little leftovers from my Blueberry Park Half Rectangle Quilt top?
I chopped them up using this tool:
I appliqued them to backgrounds and added quarter circles in the corners.
I used my walking foot to quilt the grid and made a binding from more scraps.
The quilting is pretty wonky but I love the texture!
Here are a few pictures after washing.
I love the crinkles! It finished at 12 inches square. That was a fun little finish!
Have a great day!

Great idea! It’s perfect for those who have never made Dresdens! Not so intimidting! Love it! Thank you for sharing!
Love this template and your quilt !
love this mini, I cringe when I see a dresden I’m drawn too. I remember a dresden quilt I gave as gift in my early years of quilting. I didn’t notice until the recipient held up the quilt that every single plate was a different size! She thought it was a clever design element bless her generous heart lol!
Super cute, love the Dresden…such a happy little quilt square!
I’m really enjoying your posts from the warm region of the southwest. I hope it’s o.k. to ask questions which might also be answered by others. Is fusible batting still available? Our local Joann’s does not have it, but instead recommends a fusible “fleece”. It makes the project very stiff. Fleece is the word she used, but it’s more like a stiff backing.
That is so pretty! Hugs,
Amazing what can be done with a few scraps. It is beautiful and would look lovely on your wall.
I came here to respond to your lovely Gratitude post but the page won’t appear. I just had to tell you how much it touched me, Katy. God bless you and yours.
Love this little quilt, Katy! Dresdens are a favorite of mine…the second quilt
I ever made was a Dresden…of course my blocks were much larger than your little mini sized ones!
Love the fabrics you used…and that crinkly look just makes me smile…thanks for sharing!
This is just too sweet. I love teenie, tiny Dresdens.
Adorable! I’ve yet to use my dresden tool! It’s on my list!
This is a super cute quilt! Love it!
The ruler is certainly a useful tool… Your fabric colors just sing in harmony, and isn’t it pleasant to have a little project to turn to for diversion?
Absolutely adorable!
This is so pretty! Love the pattern!
Lovely little mini, and such tiny Dresdens, now that takes skill.
It’s adorable! And tiny!!
This is ADORABLE! I love everything about it; size, pattern, and fabric colors. Thanks for sharing your AZ experiences. I am enjoying your blog. Give my love to the family when they visit.
Love it. Those fans must be pretty tiny if the quilt is only 12 inches. Wow.
What a cute quilt! I just picked up a scrap bag of Civil War fabrics. Maybe I should try this with them. Hmm.
That is adorable Katy! I love anything Dresden! But 12″ square? I have that ruler, how big are the blades? Now I have to make one too!
What a cute mini quilt! It makes me feel guilty for throwing anything away–because I already keep so much!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
