I had quite a bit of small pieces leftover from cutting the dresden plate so I made another block. This block is for Lori and Jodi's great granny along. You can find the tutorial here.
I also made a zippered pouch. I am really trying to use up small pieces as I go so I don't end up with a ton of scraps laying around. I came up with this pattern based on the sizes of the scraps I had leftover.
BTW...I didn't have much red, white and blue fabrics in my stash so I had to run out and buy some. These fabrics are by Denyse Schmidt. I love these prints. They are so pretty.
I'd like to thank Diane of Jane's Fabrics and Madame Samm for putting this blog hop together.

Hi Kim, Congratulations. I like the way the centre of the Dresden Block is the background. Who doesn't love granny squares? Then the zippered pouch. Thank you for sharing your RWB.
p.s. do you have any Scraps or do you always use them up?
I love your dresden plate block. And I agree that using up the smallest pieces is interesting, and often give you a great result. Your little pouch is sweet, too.
Hi Zuzan,
I don't think I have a lot of scraps. I only have one drawer full of scraps. Once I made a scrappy queen size quilt but it didn't seem like I used up much. I didn't' even put a dent in that scrap pile so it's best to use things up as I go along.
gorgeous blocks and the pouch is very cute - love the circle fabric :)
Kim, your blocks are all so sweet! Love the dresden plate, and the granny, and the pouch! Wonderful projects!
Love all of your creations, especially the "Dresden Plate" block. thanks for being part of the hop!
What wonderful blocks and I love the snips of fabric you used - medium tones of fabric always work somehow. Thank you for sharing. Judy C
They are great - I love the bag too. Thanks for sharing.
I hadn't heard of the Great Granny Along until I read your blog. It doesn't seem to matter how many blogs one reads (and I read a lot), you still miss something. I like your blocks very much and especially love the idea of using up the scraps right away. I should begin to do that.
Kim, your blocks are amazing. Thank you fir sharing.
Hi Kim! Love your blocks, but totally love that little zippy pouch. Indeed a pretty and fun way to use up scraps.

very nice! And a blog hop isn't a bad excuse at all for needing to buy more fabric. Right?

Hi Kim, I love your blocks but that zippered purse is just wonderful! I keep thinking I'll tackle one but so far I've put it off thinking about the zipper. :) blessings, marlene
Beautiful blocks and little pouch! Fun fabrics!
The dresdan plate looks good in the red/white/blue.Nice pouch and who couldn't use one.
Happy Hop Day Kim, I love your dresden! I also think it is wonderful to use up all the scraps. I have to try that as I have way to many! Great start to the Granny Square along. Thank you so much for playing.
Adorable fabrics and I love your dresden. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful blocks, and the zippered pouch, too! So cute!
Very pretty dresden and granny square...both blocks are on my to do list. Love your little zippered bag too! Thanks for your inspiration!
Love what you did - thanks for sharing!
Love your Dresden and Great Granny blocks...those Great Grannies are soooo addicting...great choice of fabrics...you can't have enough Denyse Schmidt fabric. I like your idea of using up your small scrapes as you go, that is something I will have to try to do!! I'll have to try a zippered pouch, just have to get past the zipper... Thanks for the inspiration and sharing in the RW&B blog hop. Have a terrific Thursday!!
Love your blocks and the little pouch. I really like the fact that you use up your scraps as you go. Great idea and it would keep the sewing room so much neater. I'm afraid mine is a mess. I also love the purse that you have in your header. It is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely work
wonderful job, and I love the little zippered pouch. Happy quilting.
your dresden block is wonderful. And I like how you use up your scraps

Love your blocks. The Dresden was a favorite of my moms. I love the granny squares.
Kim, you made a beautiful Dresden block. That is my favorite block also. The Granny Squares and pouch are super cute too. Great job. Thank you.
Your Dresden block is beautiful and so is the Granny Squares. I know what you mean about using up the fabric, and what a better way then making a pouch or tote, and I love the pouch.
The Dresden block is beautiful along with the Granny Squares, and what better way to use up fabric then to make a pouch, bag or tote. I love the pouch.
