    Baby Quilt Pattern: Dresden Window Pane

    Free Pattern· Quilts

    28 Sep

    Hey Guys! It’s starting to get cold now and although I hate it, I love sewing cold weather projects. Here is a beautiful baby quilt pattern that is super easy and fast to do as your next baby shower gift. This Dresden Window Pane baby quilt pattern uses the gorgeous Flutterberry line from Riley Blake Designs. Designed by Melly and Me, the line features fun girlish patterns with florals, berries and abstracts. You really can’t get any cuter than this. I love each and every one of the patterns and honestly had a hard time deciding which ones to use for this quilt. The finish quilt measures 36″ x 40″ which, in my opinion is the perfect baby quilt pattern.

    The quilt was quilted by the fabulous Melissa from Sew Shabby Quilting. I am in love with swirls. Check out this patchwork quilt she did for me a while ago.

    I think I am going to hang this up in my daughter’s room cause I can’t stand to part with it and give it away.

    Sorry for all the pictures. I just can’t get enough of the colors!

    Your Supplies

    22 Fat Quarters of different colors

    1 yard batting

    1 yard cotton for backing

    1 yard white cotton for background

    Dresden Quilt Ruler

    4 yards of binding

    Measure and Cut

    Cut 22 rectangles of different colors at 6″ x 5″. If you are using charm packs, you can do 5″ x4″.

    Cut 20 Dresden using the ruler. I did mine at the entire length of the ruler

    Cut 1 circle at 4″ diameter for the center of the Dresden

    Cut Center white at 23″ x 30″

    Top and bottom white panel at 30″ x 5″

    Two side white panel at 40″ x 2.5″

    Sew

    The first thing I made was my Dresden. I could show you how to do this but honestly I just followed this tutorial from Missouri Quilt Company. Watch it and you will understand each step.

    Next, take your Dresden and lay it on the bottom right of your white center cotton to the point where it right and bottom hangs off the white white fabric. Align it based on preference. Then, pin it and cut off the remaining. It will break your heart to cut it but it will all come together.

    Next, you will sew 5 pieces of your colored rectangles right side together. Sew them on the longest side. Do 2 strips of 5 rectangles. One for the bottom and one for the top. Then, take that strip and sew it on the top and bottom pieces of your white center piece.

    Next, take 6 of your colored strips and sew them right sides together on the short ends. Sew 2 strips of 6 rectangle, one for the right and left sides. Then, take those strips and sew them on the right and left sides of the quilt.

    Next, sew your top and bottom white 5″ wide white strips on and then your right and left side 2.5″ strips on.

    I did not take picture of the quilting but here are some from my Table Runner Tutorial.

    You lay the batting in between the top and bottom pieces.

    Next, you pin all over the top so that everything is stable.

    Then, trim off your excess batting and back pieces.

    Lastly, you sew on your binding. I watching this tutorial on how to do binding from Missouri Quilt Company.

    That’s it!

    In our country mostly parents are uneducated that they did not prefer to earn the education that’s the cause of decreasing in education. Our country educational system is based on inequality. Education can show many rules.

    Help! I made this by your measurements and my top and sides don't meet. I cut all of the rectangles 6 x 5. I sewed 5 of them long sides together and sewed these to the top and bottom. No problem with the fit. Then I sewed 7 rectangles short ends together and those strips are to short for the sides. Can you help me determine what I did wrong? My center is 23 x 30 with the 30 being on the outside and the 23 being on the top and bottom. Even with adding an extra rectangle on each side those strips are about 2" to short to meet at the bottom. Thanks, Betty

    I am so excited to try this! How many inches long did you cut your Dresden blades? My ruler is 12" but that seems like it would be too long.

    This is a lovely pattern and I made it. Once I made the Dresden I thought I was home free. The easy part got complicated because the borders did not fit correctly. Top and bottom blocks fit fine. Had to add 2 smaller blocks to each side to make it fit, and look good. (The strip was 71/2 inches short.). Then the side white strips fit, but I had to cut longer top and bottom strips... Also I wish the side strips has been wider. The finished quilt is only 36" wide, and should be at least 38" for a nice crib quilt. Length is okay.

    This quilt is beautiful and I'd like to make it. My Dresden ruler is very long so I can make the Dresdens any size I want. So I have to ask you how long you cut your dresden pieces. Once I have that dimension, I am ready to get started. Thanks again for the tutorial.

    Such a cute pattern! Unfortunately the dimensions for the side pieces are COMPLETELY wrong, as others have mentioned. I made it work by slicing and dicing and seam ripping, but unfortunately caused a lot of frustration. Wish I'd read the comments before cutting! Still, I got a SUPER cute final version.

    I also made this quilt. The center white piece had to be cut 23x24 in order for me to get the block strips to fit properly. Beautiful pattern though.

    Love this pattern and it sewed up so fast - great fun and I got to use up one of my charms packs that's been sitting around forever. Because of all of the consternation about the measurements and a lot of it depends on what size charm pack you are using, I left cutting any of the white background pieces until AFTER I pieced together the Dresden plate and the strips of rectangles.
    Once I had the four strips of rectangles sewn and pressed, then and only then did I cut my center background piece to fit whatever the strip measurements came out to be. Worked perfectly and best of all......no math.
