Prairie Pointer
I saw a tut on making a dresden plate block and she was using the prairie pointer to make those wonderful points on the blades. Well, I started my first dresden plate block today. That prairie pointer is the best! Since it's metal, you can iron right over it. Check it out. Of course, I'm probably preaching to the choir here and you all already know about this neat tool.

I started with a 50" Dresden as my first Dresden, and had no idea how to center the points, so I just pressed the top seam and part way down the crease that was made, and then used the crease to help me center the points. Getting rid of my "volcano" was much more difficult, but I did it and learned a lot from the process.
