Mini Dresden Quilt Pattern

Several people said they would love to see the Mini Dresden Table Runner in yellows so guess what I did? I made it again!

Red or Yellow?

Now I’m not sure which one I like the best, the yellow does make me think of summer and sweet corn!

Jelly Roll Ruler Mini Dresden

I have included a template for the Dresden blades but I still think it is faster and easier using the Jelly Roll Ruler Mini Dresden ruler that made it very easy to cut out the pieces. This ruler fits perfectly on a 2½-inch strip of fabric.

Sunflower

Can you see adding a stem and some leaves for a sunflower? What a cute wall hanging that would be. I might add that to my quilt projects.

Table Runner or Wall Hanging

I really like that this can be used as a table runner or a wall hanging. Once again I used some of my Island Batik fabrics for this quilt project. I hope you like it.

  1. I really like both the red and yellow. Think the yellow is a little bit more to my liking. While looking through my stash, I was amazed that I have the exact yellow fabrics that you used. Very unusual for sure. I set them aside to make the Dresden blocks. They are one of my favorite patterns.

    Hello Connie, 24th Feb. 2026 here where I live, Rockingham, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, on the coast of a lovely beach, the temperature is hot, tomorrow will be 37c. I prefer the warm weather, the cold is awful, all I want to do is get warm in bed. That means no sewing is done and the UFO start to pile up. I wanted to say, I like the yellow table runner, I love the sunflowers, with their lovely faces following the sun.

    1. Thank you Helena, living on the coast of a lovely beach is perfect for hot weather. Our cold would feel awful to you I’m sure.

  3. These are so cute! Would love to see a video of how you do your top quilting on your machine.

  4. I love both! Red & yellow! In fact, I love dresdens! 👍🏻😃♥️

  5. Love both of the color choices, Would also look good as scrappy. I believe I “burned out” with sewing/quilting/embroidering over the holidays so have taken a respite. I have been working on UFO’s but with yarn, crocheting, finishing projects & using some of my yarn “over-stock”. I’m hoping to start on sewing projects soon, after going through my “stuff” and re-organizing. Maybe Spring will inspire me!

  6. I love the yellow one! It’s such a happy color and does make me think of summer.

    So bright and cheerful! Love this.

  8. I love the yellow pattern. It’s so cheerful. When you walk into the kitchen & the first thing you see is the beautiful bright yellow table runner that should start your day with a smile.
    Sorry about the 6″ snowfall. Here on the eastern shore of Wi. we only got a trace. No shoveling, yea!J

    1. Thanks Judie, it definitely brightens up the kitchen! We have actually only had 3 snowfalls this year, I love it when everything is white outside.

    I love this mini Dresden pattern. I can be made longer for a larger table by just adding another block. I think I will make them for different seasons and give them as gifts.
    I look forward to your newsletter. It always has something that perks my interest.
    I made six throw quilts and several table runners for Christmas gifts (for family) last year so I am planning on smaller projects this year. Your table runners and wall hangings will be my inspiration.

    1. Thanks Terri, of course you could make it as long as you like. I am also seeing a quilt with each block being a different color…maybe I should make it for my color challenge!
