One was this pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts and the templates to make cutting it a snap...so, of course I had to sew one up and try it out...
I found a wooden stiletto aka chopstick or skewer to be very helpful in pressing the 3d star tips on this block.
There are great tips for sewing dresden blocks on Bunny Hill Designs site here.
PS-I also picked up this bee fat quarter and would love yardage but alas...no selvedge...anyone know what this is?

I love Mr. Charming....too cute! You are back sewing with a force!
We probably bumped into one another today without knowing it! I have a yard of this very "charming" fabric and love the way you have fussy cut it..... gives me ideas on how to use my fabric!
I love your block! It looks perfect. The meatballs were good although they only managed to delight the 6 year old on the first day and not so much as leftovers. And your Jen Kingwell quilt blocks look fabulous too. Hopefully they keep any other snow away.
What a gorgeous block - I love it!
Prince Charming looks fabulous in the center.
I like this line by Tula too.
Your frog is adorable!
I, also, celebrated Ntional Quilting Day by going to a local show, with my friend Nancy. The only purchaces I made were the applique book by speaker, Beth Ferrier, and a package of Wash-Away Applique sheets. The sheets will make one of my current projects easier.
This is one gorgeous block, Kris!! Such beautiful and crisp points and I love Mr. Charming in the center :)
