Dresden plates are one of the few quilt blocks that you need to use templates - it's nearly impossible to make these by measuring and cutting. Marti Mitchell has a great set of sturdy plastic templates at the site below. You can also make your own templates out of cardboard or template plastic - just be aware that it won't be as sturdy.
Eleanor Burns has a version in her book "Egg Money Quilts" - it involves folding to a point, but the cutting is much simpler. The templates are four sided, which is easier to cut from a strip of fabric. The second link is to a PDF for the Eleanor Burns instructions. They are VERY clear - as are most of her books.

sure it really is. i appreciate this trend because you should use scraps in such diverse colorations. when you've all the products sewn at the same time, you hand stitch a tiny hem around the interior the hollow, and gently collect it to type a round structure.
