Key benefits Produce precise, repeatable Dresden plate blocks quickly — no guessing or hand-drawing required. Multiple petal and edge options let you create varied layouts and visual effects from the same set of stencils. Simple prep and secure handling reduce fabric shifting and speed assembly, saving time on piecing and applique. What the product does Stencils to cut and assemble Dresden-style quilt petals that radiate from a central circle to form classic quilt blocks. Create plates made up of flat-sided “petals” that meet at a center circle; blocks measure 11–12 inches in diameter when assembled. Options to produce 8, 12, or 16 petals per plate, and to change the petal edge profile for different looks. Features and attributes Petal counts: produces 8-, 12-, and 16-petal configurations for the same block size. Finished block size: combine dozens of Dresden plate blocks that measure approximately 11–12 inches in diameter. Edge options: four interchangeable edge profiles — pointed, curved, straight, and securing curve — to vary the final appearance and seam behavior. Handling and setup: peel off the brown paper backing from each stencil, attach a grippy material to the back to reduce slipping, and attach the handles to the side with etched lines. The handles are positioned so the stencil can be used for ruler work and quilting. How it solves common quilting problems Eliminates inconsistent petal shapes that come from freehand cutting, giving uniform results across many blocks. The grippy backing and attachable handles reduce fabric movement, making cutting and accurate placement easier. Multiple petal and edge choices let you reuse the same stencils to produce a wide range of designs without buying new templates. Practical use scenarios Bed quilt: Use 12-petal plates with curved edges for a soft, traditional bedspread assembled from dozens of 11–12 inch blocks. Accent projects: Make coordinated throw pillows or table runners by switching to pointed or straight petal edges for a sharper, graphic look. Small wall hangings or sampler quilts: Mix petal counts and edge options across blocks to create visual interest in a quilt-as-you-go or sampler-style piece. Simple setup and operation Peel off the brown paper backing on each stencil. Attach a grippy material to the back to improve contact with your fabric while cutting. Attach the handles to the side with etched lines; these allow you to use the stencil for accurate ruler work and quilting. What to expect in use Consistent petal shapes and repeatable results across multiple blocks. Flexible design possibilities by combining petal counts and edge profiles. Compatibility with typical quilting workflows: cutting, applique, ruler work, and quilting guided by the etched handle side. Notes Stencils are intended for producing Dresden plate components that assemble into blocks approximately 11–12 inches in diameter. Follow standard quilting safety and cutting practices when using rotary cutters and rulers.
