Here is a pic of my first attempt at a dresden pattern. I think it came out pretty good. I am going to use a light yellow for the center and I am still researching the leave pattern.
when I cut out my templates I put it on a grid and saw that the petals were 2 1/2 inches wide and a lightbulb went off. I've got a ton of jelly rolls and they are 21/2 wide. Probably the rest of the great group already knew that. I cut the strips to lentgh and stack them by 4 and got them all cut out in less than 30 minutes.
So there ya go.
I post another pick tomorrow when I get the whole block done.l
