Dresden Plate with Inklingo

I like a combination of foundation piecing and back-basting the best. All of the methods are illustrated in the design book (74 pages). There is no charge for it when you buy a related shape collection.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

You will be happy with the results you get with sewing lines and matching marks printed on the fabric!

Dresde Plate by Claudia with Inklingo

Dresden Plate Quilt Design by Claudia Rollins with Inklingo

“Pansies Art Deco” was designed and sewn by Claudia Rollins with Inklingo for the SewBatik Fabric Challenge at the Association of Pacific West Quilters Show.

18 x 18, as required by the SewBatik Fabric Challenge in the Pacific West Quilt Show, August 23 – 25, 2013 in Tacoma WA. Shown with permission of Claudia and the Show Director, Elizabeth Spannring. (Thank you!)

Claudia is an inspiration. She used a variety of Inklingo blades to create a truly unique variation of the Dresden Plate.

You can have it all!

If you order the Appliqué collection and the Fancy Pieced collection, you will have it all! (Everything in the Basic Pieced collection is included in the Fancy Pieced Collection.)

Get the Design Book first?

There is no charge for the Inklingo Dresden Plate Quilt Design Book (PDF, 74 pages) when you buy a Dresden Plate or Grand Desert shape collection.

Some quilters like to buy the design book first to see the instructions and help them decide which size they prefer.

3 ways to get the design book free!

  1. When you buy related shapes, I manually add the design book to your account as soon as I see your order.
  2. If you buy the design book first (on sale for $10), when you buy related shapes in the next 60 days, I manually refund $10 as soon as I see your order.
  3. If you buy the shapes and the design book on one order, I manually refund $10 as soon as I see your order, so the design book is still free.

    I have done several Dresden Plate projects over the years but there is no better technique on the market today for Dresden than Inklingo. The options are endless as you can see from the shapes that are offered in the Inklingo Collection. This is a collection that should be in every quilter’s file.

  2. Erin (verified owner)

    I probably would not have attempted a Dresden Plate quilt without Inklingo. Printing the blade shapes on your fabric is fast and easy. The blades can be cut out with a small rotary cutter or scissors. Even if you’ve never appliqued before, there are helpful instructions available in the collection and the free Applique Printing Instructions download. Now I can’t wait to try more of the blade designs that Linda offers in this collection.

    Dresden Plate is one of my all time favorites. I am making one with 30’s fabrics and it is looking so pretty. The other one I’m working on is in Christmas colors – hoping to get this one done to use as a wall hanging for the holidays. Love Inklingo!

  4. Linda D (verified owner)

    I am in the process of printing hundreds of sheets of 1930’s fabric for a Dresden Plate quilt. You won’t believe how fast you can print all the pieces for a big quilt. Inklingo is fast, accurate and fun. I think everyone should own Inklingo collections. I absolutely love making Inklingo quilts. I own most of the collections. LOL

    This method has led even me to ap`plique, a technique I usually don’t like very much but with this method it makes it a joy!
