I have some old Dresden plate blocks that my Great Grandmother started. They all have a yellow circle in the middle. All are hand, blanket stitched with black embroidery thread. I have been finishing them. Planning to sash in black. Not sure what to do for the actual quilting. Looking forward to seeing yours when you are finished.m
