I made a quilt recently that had one Dresden Plate block and one Grandmother's fan block. I had a harder time with the fan than the plate. The blades on a dresden plate can be very forgiving. You can use a scalloped edge, straight edge, like a template would give you, or sew that straight edge into a pointed edge.

I find the only "trick" to know is what order you want your blades in and keep track of it. It's a really wonderful pattern and it's easier than it seems.
