I just bought that tool at my LQS and after I finish making a lap quilt for a friend with breast cancer I am going to get some fabric around and try it.
I love the fabrics you used.

I love your dresden plate block, my favorite colors. I have one of those dresden tools to and haven't used it yet but plan to before long. Great job.

Beautiful. I made a dresden plate quilt for a family reunion quilt in blues - my family sent fabric, then I appliqued the plates onto white fabric with two strips of blue with a white strip in between and 9 patches in the corners. It was one of the best quilts I have ever made. Didn't have the tool, but used the block from Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day book, so easy. The only thing I did differently was to make the background blocks slightly larger. I used their fabrics - which went togther like they were planned, then used 4 of the same blue in each plate with a batik center to unify each block. My relatives all fought over it, but one of my brothers won it - saying that it was the best quilt I had ever done. High praise from Don to be sure. I just machine appliqued the plates onto the background fabric and did a fancy stitch around the center circle. Love your Dresden plate.

I have tat ruler too but don't know how to figure out how big to make the center circle. Is there an easy way to figure it out bu someone who was never math friendly?

I would just make the circle after I finish the dresden plate. I have some plastic circle templates and I just put one over the hole in the center to check the fit and then cut it out and applique' it on. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

I got one of the tools years ago. Seems like this is a real winner when it comes to favorite patterns. Yes, it does make it go much faster. Your block has such lovely colors.
