I bought a Quilt in a Day mini-Dresden plate kit by Eleanor Burns. I made the plates as instructed and after attaching them to the background squares, the block ends up being 6" square. Problem now is that the sashings for the squares should be 6" as well right?
Problem is that the sashings are made of the same fabric as the Dresden plate fabric but the kit only came with 5" charm squares. Sashing strips have to be made by cutting the 5" charms into strips and piecing them together. ugh!
Also the directions that came with the kit assume the fabric being used is in strips and not 5" charms. double ugh! Thinking of sending a message to the manufacturer to ask why did they packaged the kit this way.
See what they say. Couldn't hurt.
