I did one right away and wondered if I would get more done.  Happy to put 4 in the drawing. I didn’t trim the...

So far I have only managed to make two of these blocks. They are really easy to put together.  Like someone else a few days ago I want to know if you cut the excess fabric away from behind the flower...

I finished four for now. I may have four more later after I get them appliqued to the background fabric.  I’ve got them all cut out for my OMMS...

Here are my four sunflower block for this month. Hope they fit the bill....

I posted a photo of the nine Dresden blocks I made for the sneak perk. Then I reread the instructions and found out that I made five if them with the petals in the wrong color orientation. Here are the correct...

Do we cut away excess background fabric from underneath the Dresden petals and the quarter circle center?  What about the excess fabric under the petal tips?

I downloaded and printed the second template from Robin.  On my printed page, the quarter circles are the correct dimensions. The first block I made, I scooted the blade set to where they hit near the 6 inch line like Barbara’s, then trimmed my block after sewing them down.  I didn’t feel good about it, so I didn’t want to waste my quarter circle by sewing it down.  After trimming I knew it was wrong because I had to trim too...

Here are my four blocks for the October Dresden Fan.  I included a ruler on one block to show proper placement to get the blocks the same size and so any winner will be able to place the blocks into a circle and have all the edges match.  The 45 degree line on the ruler should run through the diagonal of the block, between the two center petals. The outside edge petals should just reach the 6 inch mark and the quarter circle should be 3.25...

Dresden Plate blocks have always looked super time consuming, so I was delighted to find these going together quickly. After my rough start, that is. My first tries were too big, the fans reached way up past the top trim and did not meet the right side edge. Quite a lot of investigation followed, beginning with careful checking of my seam allowances and ending with some Illustrator geometry.  When I re-drew the fan template 1/8″ shorter...

I made one Dresden to test the instructions….eight more followed. Thanks for reminding me how easy Dresdens...

I did get one more done. That makes a total of two one lotto entry, one donated no chance block for me this time. Not as many as I wanted to do but better than none.. I guess you can add this one to the no entry pile since I was late on getting it...
