I still need to applique it, but wanted to say how easy it was. I'm thinking of doing a whole quilt now, with nice big 'blank' blocks in between for some nice handquilting. Now I have to remember how to applique (haven't done it for so long!).
p.s. btw, I used the 4 1/2" mark on the tool & a 13" block for this little project.
Well, I wanted to share. If you have one of these in your closet, I encourage you to give it a try! :mrgreen:

I have had this tool for a "few" years and just didn't try it as of yet but you have given me a great inspiration to do so. Right now I am working on an english paper piecing dresden plate. It is a time consuming project but I am hand sewing the dresden plate onto the background block and working on it in the evenings while watching TV. Love the dresden plate pattern.

I had a 50% coupond off for JoAnn's and I love the pattern so I picked it up and now I am in love with it. My DSIL gave me 18 fat quarters to make a quilt . And now I am going to make myself a quilt using the dresden tool. Happy quilting! :-D
