How to Make a Top Stitch Dresden Plate Quilt Block

Traditionally, Dresden plate quilt blocks can be quite daunting. Melanie over at Southern Charm Quilts has a helpful video tutorial to make a top stitched version of the block.

This traditional quilt block has a wonderful look to it. It is a nice design to make when you want to add some circular movement to a quilt. As seen in the photo, it is also a great way to use up scraps.

The video makes the process easy. You will find tips for getting sharp points, chain piecing, pressing, and stitching them to your background.
