Dresden plate template
 

Sistersofthedivide.blogspot.com has an Interesting wayto use the Zimmerman Dresden plate plastic template--call it hummingbird block. The first one I saw was thru Pinterest, and it was template and pp, but when I went to actual site and under tutorials - hummingbird block, it's just regular piecing. Somewhere on that site, I can't find it, must have been an old post onto pinterest, there is, or should be the pp version. But it's a new use for template.....

Thanks for the idea Geri, here's a direct link to the pattern.

Try - Dresden ruler tutorial squares and triangles - on the sisterofthedivide.blogspot.com. I think that will give tute on pp technique....its from her 2014 tutes....or tutes and inspiration. Some of these blogs can get quite confusing...

and her's the direct link to that http://sisterofthedivide.blogspot.co...er-and-35.html

Maggie Ball has a video here that shows a similar block without a special ruler. Her pieces are different in dimension, but once you see how she makes her cuts, you could adjust accordingly:
