I continue to make (and collect orphan!) dresden fan blocks.
I made these blocks a few weeks ago, for my green quilt. I wasn’t too happy with them and I put them in a box. Some day I will try another version.
The only thing I am sure about is that I want blocks that look like circles and not blocks that look like octagons. You can see in the photo below the difference between the blocks.
My quilt would look like this:
If you like rounded blocks too, here are the measurements of the strips you have to piece.
I made two sets of strips, cut wedges with the fan ruler and combined them.
Here is the tutorial on how to turn the dresden blocks into octagons then in squares.
The possibilities are endless. Happy Quilting!

Best Dresden Plate blocks I've ever seen. They are so unique and much more interesting, I'm going to call them Geta's Plate blocks. Love them!

I love your blog! Found it through a link on Pintrest. I love your circular blocks. I've been collecting inspiration pictures for awhile so I could figure out how to make them, and here you already have. I'll be trying these as soon as I can.
