I was doing some catching up on my google reader this morning and came across this post from Bloom's blog called Bloom and Blossom. She has many great posts and lots of wonderful tutorials. Bloom is also a Moda Bake Shop Designer and has done some of my favorite projects on Moda's Bakeshop like this and this and this!
Just so you know Bloom is a genius and this is why...
Just go to her blog and look at the great tip she came up with to make the Dresden Plates for my Moda Bakeshop project called Plates for Your Table. It's pretty awesome. Thanks Bloom for sharing this thrifty way of making the dresden plates out of Charm Packs!
Please Note: This tip only works for making the smaller dresden plate used in the table runner project as seen here below.
Run and check out her tip today. . . you will love it!!!

I LOVE her tip! Not only is it a way to use up charm packs but there is also very little waste. Using a charm pack also takes all the agony of fabric selection away. For me, that is still very difficult especially when you really do need a large variety.
Kim welcome back. You've been gone too long.
You are right that is a fantastic tip! Very little waste. How can you not love it. And thanks, I have never been on her blog before, now I will be adding it to my reader.
Gosh I love your pattern, I will go and check out her tip!! have a great day!
Actually Kim, it is you and Bloom together that make this idea so great! Thank you.
The pattern is just wonderful. I love the colours that you used! Just lovely!

Fantastic tip! Thanks for sharing the link.
Thanks for sharing. I love this. It is gorgeous.
Your table runner is so beautiful! I love the pieced sashing, it works so well with the Dresden plates. That hint on bloom was pretty savvy--thrifty minds are great for the rest of us :)
You know I love it when someone takes my idea and brings it to a new level with a trick. Sherri did that with her idea of charm squares for my bag. It is so fun. Loved your presentation the other night. I was so into it I didn't take photos!! can you believe that, ugh
I miss your blogging. I hope all well.
The tip is a good one, but even more than that, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your fabric choices for this table runner. Mm, Mm, Mm!
Each time I come to your blog I do nothing but drool.
Hope everything is going well!
Thanks for the tip, the runner is so lovely.
You have a fun blog and I want to be just like you when I grow up...
