I Googled the
Dresden Christmas Tree Wall Hanging and found several different patterns with that name. Which one are you making? Could you give us a link?
FYI....Most time when I am sewing, my seam allowances don't actually measure 1/4". They are always a bit short because the finished size is what I am trying to achieve.
I am making this one.
Dresden Tree Wall Hanging The actual wall hanging is turning out like it is supposed to (there are just blades of different sizes - no half circles of Dresden's) I even added more rows to make a bigger tree.
The Dresden ugg started because I had some extra scrape fabric and decided to see if I could make an actual half circle or a full circle Dresden since I was going to be doing a quilt with them, and with the 'blades' I had putting together for the tree, (especially since I added a bigger row of the full 9" blade on the bottom of the tree), it didn't look like it would ever make a half circle, I experimented and couldn't get there, it always seemed to be either too many or too few blades to make a half circle or full circle. This is the quilt mentioned earlier:
