In her video Jenny says not to worry about the center coming out even - it's covered up by the circle anyway. I used basting spray to tack it to the background and just used a 2-step zig-zag to attach it. Started another one last night and after only an hour I had half the spokes done.

Very nice and bright. I ordered the special ruler also and I am planning on making this block too. You did a great job.

Love your quilt. I have a question. For one dresden how many strip sets did you make to get some variety in your fabric? I am planning to make only one as the center medallion for a wall hanging.
