My dad loves a garage sale or auction. He is always finding a gem for a song! Last year he found a whole box of Dresden plate blocks at a flea market for only $5! The blocks in the quilt below were already appliqued to the yellow cotton fabric and ready to set together for a quilt. There were 21 blocks. I took 19 of them and this is what I got. The remainder of the blocks are just the Dresden plates, that I will have to applique to a block myself, but I have enough to make at least 4-5 more quilts - for $5!! Gregg says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I have no idea what he means! :))

My friend Angela from Quilts With A Heart shared this video last month on how to make a simple Dresden plate block. She has the ruler for sale on her website.
