Just thought I'd mention how very cool and fun the easy dresden tool is. Last night when hubby had the kids at ball practice, I thought for once I was just going to sit down and sew something fun. Picked out some fun fabric from my scraps, and put together a dresden plate block (wanted to try one like forever!). It was SO easy, and I truly enjoyed the process. I still need to applique it, but wanted to say how easy it was. I'm thinking of doing a whole quilt now, with nice big 'blank' blocks in between for some nice handquilting. Now I have to remember how to applique (haven't done it for so long!).

p.s. btw, I used the 4 1/2" mark on the tool & a 13" block for this little project.

Well, I wanted to share. If you have one of these in your closet, I encourage you to give it a try! :mrgreen:
