The Dresden Plate was named after the German town of Dresden , renowned for its fine china. 

 It is a lovely design and is very popular.

 

 Traditionally the “plates” with rounded petals were first pieced and then hand appliquéd to a background block.  

This table centre is quicker and easier to make using pointed petals.  The over-size petals turn the plate into a "platter".

Approx size: 19.5 inch diameter (50cm diameter)

Pattern includes plastic templates for petals and circles and a sample fabric petal.
