    thanks everyone! The ebook is advertised here on the board. It is in the pics you see at the bottom of some of the pages. It is on a rotation so you will see my other 3 books Star Point / Boston Blocks/ Wings Blocks as well as the Paper Piecing ebook and How To Make a Doll Quilt. I think there is another one on binding too.


    Here is the link for the Dresden Kaleidoscope ebook
    www.quiltedparadise.com/n/983-owz.jsp

    This link will take you to a page that will offer some pics and comments about what you will see in the ebook.

    I show how I look for fabric. What fabric works and what fabric doesn't at least in my opinion. I show you how to decide what makes a good blade and what doesn't. What you should look for and why. I have 3 or 4 suggestions on how to finish your DK. I show some things to avoid and what not to do so your DK will be pretty and not just plain.

    I show some troubleshooting ideas on how to fix problems such as if your DK won't lay flat.

    There are I think 6 projects showing you ways to use your DKs.
    And of course there are lots of pics showing you DKs I have made. The average DK is 8 1/2" but I also show how to use the small mini blade.

    I included the templates in the book and you can download them and trace them onto clear plastic if you like. I do also send them out for free.

    Great tutorial. I would not have known what would make an interesting finished design.

    Thanks, Rhonda, this is great. You did a super job of explaining how to look for just the right spot to get the kaleidescope effect. As usual, this is very helpful! I plan to order the eBook when I can!

    Thanks! Very helpful, especially the part about scanning the fabric into the computer to help look for good petals for the dresden plates.
