Imperial Runner

The Dresden Plate blocks appear to be hand appliqued, giving the runner more dimension. The combination of the paper-piecing for support and the template cut blades keeps the assembly of the blocks consistent in size. 

Rated as intermediate, this project includes directions for machine mock-hand applique, a 1/4 inch seam practice and tips to achieve well-behaved borders.

The finished size is 21" x 47".
