I would like mention an important detail about the MSQ Dresden Ruler. The Scrappy Dresden was made with the MSQ LARGE Dresden Ruler which is not the same as the rulers bought at JoAnn's or Amazon...etc...that measure 8".
My friend and I made the MSQ Scrappy Dresden with our 8" Dresden rulers as per the pattern. The Jelly Roll 2-1/2" strips sets and our rulers gave us only 18 blades. The LARGE ruler gives you 20 blades. When Jenny was making her plate you'll notice she used that one 4-strip strata to make ONE plate. I had to make all the blades and do a mix/match to get the 20 and all the plates seemed to look alike, which turned out fine because the jelly roll was color coordinated, but it wasn't the look I was wanting.
Hope this makes sense.....
