ARDCO Templates are available in curved and straight edge shapes for creating pieces that will fit together perfectly. Windows templates may also be used for "selective piecing" of fabric patterns. The unique permanent non-skid grit finish on the reverse side will prevent the template from sliding on the fabric while cutting or drawing lines (not shown).Dresden Plate Block Sets templates are available with curved or peaked ends.

ARDCO by QuiltSmith purchased the quilt in 1994. It has been shown on "Simply Quilts" with Alex Anderson.The Dresden Plate DPW-14C was recently featured again on Simply Quilts. Instructions for "Sizzling Dresden Plate" by guest Sharon Stroud are available on HGTV's web site.
