I like the way you combined your color and was wondering something. If you cut the background in four pieces, do you add a 1/2 inch to the square before cutting. Great idea. I'd like to be able to do it too but I'm a novice and I have screwed up so many blocks I've been tring to stick to the rules.

I cut mine into 7" pieces and sewed together. You really only need 6 1/2" sections, but because I was appliqueing the dresden plate I didn't want to risk it being a tad too small.

You've been very clever in the way you've grouped your fabrics against the four background patterns - it really does work well! Great!

Thanks re fussy cutting - I've had fun with that on several of the blocks!

Thanks for all your kind comments. I pulled the fabrics from other blocks I've done in this BOM so far. I've been striving for a fresh look.

I like all the contrast and how the fabrics work together. Gives the eyes lots to look at. It will be interesting to see how you quilt this.

How creative! You've made your traditional plate very modern with the fussy cut center and those 4 background fabrics. Very original and I like it!
