    Posted my delimna to the main board, but here is a picture of one of the plates. Opinions on the size of the center plate needed, please. Too big? As I said, it comes form Eleanor Burns's Egg Money Quilts Book. Thanks

    It is a matter of your personal preference. I have seen different sizes of centers. It just depends on who's doing them and the pattern if they are using one.

    I've been getting ready to do a dresden plate and one thing I have noticed.. no matter the size of the plate the centers vary a lot.. so I think it's what ever appeals to you.

    Is the center already stitched down?? If not, keep in mind it will be smaller when you turn under the 1/4". But I think it looks nice. Dresden plate is my new favorite.

    The larger size center looks great in my estimation.
