I'm thinking about continuing the tradition only with a scrappy GF from my stash. So how would you rate this pattern, please?
I ordered the "Easy Dresden" ruler from Missouri Quilt company and watched the tutorial on how to use it. The ruler comes with a template to make the round Grandmother's Fan. I think it is a little more challenging than the Dresden plate, but neither is difficult.
I have become addicted to Dresden plate because it is so simple and is such a great way to use scraps. Why don't you look at the Missouri Quilt company tutorial on YouTube and see what you think? What you are proposing to do is a lovely gesture. froggyintexas
