One reason why I make so many practice pieces with my quilting is because I like to see what challenges I'm going to face before I commit to a big project. Making this one Dresden fan block taught me a lot, too.
Lessons learned: I thought the patchwork would be simple to make (nope.) The points would not be a problem for me because I could use my turner to poke them into place (only the seams fold over and bulge.) Using a ruler and strict seams would prevent me from making a cutting mistake (still made several.) Attaching them to the background fabric would be easy (nothing in piecing is ever easy for me.) A fan would allow me to use different kinds of fabric (yes, but I should avoid the see-through whites.)
I might make a few more before I commit.
