    I agree with this method. You could draw this out and make your own pattern.

    @ post #6: That Dresden Plate is awesome! Thanks for the idea.

    Press the seams open.

    Anna do you know where the block that is being held up came from? Maybe you could ask them about the pattern. Of all the patterns, yours looks the hardest. 3 separate rings, and my guess all three are paper pieced. If you are choosing--I would pick something a bit easier!

    Yup pepita I am choosing something easier. I wil attempt to sew stripes, cut in wedges and applique a center on. It should look real pretty.I do not know whwere the orginal link is. I could not find it but I think I am good to go on a modified version like I mentioned above.

    Try the Moda site, It looks like free-bird. OR have a 9 degree angle ruler and lots of courage. Go for it. Pegeth

    I am not an expert, however it looks like strips were sewed together then the triangle slices were cut out. Good luck.
