Dresden Practice

Well, my first attempt at a 12 plate dresden turned out, enh. I added length to the template which messed up the flatness......you would think not, but it did. That's why the center got larger....I kept cutting until it laid flat. lol

It will work for what I am using it for, but back to the drawing board for the dresden block swap.
I have four blocks to make in 2 weeks, so I best get to figurin' what I did wrong. 

When they are half sized, they lay beautifully, so this will be their final destination,

my Crafty chicas table runner.

I should have it done before the next patriotic holiday...I hope!

Anyone else out there ever make a tiny, little change that messed up the whole design?
