My Favorite Quilt Block For The Blog Hop Is A Dresden

It's happening this week! The "My Favorite Quilt Block" blog hop will last all week and

thanks to Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks, it will be so fun. You rock my world, Carla!

My favorite block is a Dresden, though there was a time that I called it a "Dreaded Dresden"

because it looked so scary to make. Once I learned it wasn't hard to sew, I was in love. 

One of my favorite versions is the Sunburst Dresden by Missouri Star Quilt Company.

It adds a little flare to a regular Dresden making it a bit more fun. I've created my own 

version and sizes for several quilts, which is easy once you know how to make a Dresden.

I love those little sunbursts!

The fabrics were fat quarters I bought on sale at Quilted Works. 

The rest of the fabrics were gathered from my stash.

Here's the video on making Jenny's version

Here's a few of my Dresden quilts (just to show I really do love a Dresden!)

This was my first Dresden

This was my second one...kind of scary embroidery on it, but I still love it.
