Really enjoying the photos! Dresden plates are just my favorite.
When I do the 1/4" inside the wedge, I don't knot and tie off each wedge. Bring the stitching down to the center circle and just travel in the ditch along the edge of the circle to get to the next wedge. You can SID all the way around the circle as well, then that circle is continuous, with some overstitching between the wedges. (That's how I did the one with the peach background, and I seem to remember it winning a ribbon at our state quilt show a few years ago.)
I guess I'm a lazy quilter, I hate stops and starts and try to avoid them whenever I can
