I wish there was a way to make Dresden Plates with each blade representing one day of the month. Well, I'm sure it could be done, but my math is lousy. You'd have to have a 28-blade pattern for February, and 30- and 31-blade patterns for the other months. The name of the month and the year could be embroidered on the plate's center piece. That would make an interesting temperature quilt, I think!
