If you cut 5" squares in half and do the same sewing across the top edge, turn and press. Sew the blades all together, next you sew a gathering stitch around the center ends, will be the center of the Dresden. Pin the Dresden to your base fabric as Jenny shows, then gather the blades so they lay 'kind of' flat. Add the proper sized circle in the center, I used the machine blanket stitch for attaching the plate and circle to the base fabric. I made this version using one floral fabric for each Dresden and they are called gathered flowers. Very pretty and goes rather quick, just another way to make the plates unique.
Did my blocks during a quilt retreat and some other gals started making them and they all turned out very pretty.
