I've made all of the dresden plates from the Eleanor Burns kit and my plates turned out to be about 5" wide. Now looking at the colored sashing those pieces are 6" wide but the kit only came with 5" charms. Do I need to cut strips from the 5" charms and piece the sashing strips to make them 6" wide? The instructions didn't show how to cut using the 5" charms, only using the strips. I guess I messed up, but at least my plates look like they are supposed to. I want to make another with batiks but will use strips the next time.
