I know, I felt the same way! I love the look of dresdens, but a whole quilt of them isn't my taste, but have been wanting to do one.' A flower seemed the right fit. I kind of tried to figure it out Math wise, but there's a reason I'm not a math teacher...so if you look close a few blades are skinnier than the others, but hey, real flowers are that way too so it worked for me

The butterfly has put its seal of approval on the flower. Good job!

Wow! I really like this. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of trying to make wall hangings to cover the walls of my sewing room with. This would be perfect!
