Tutorial: Round Dresden patchwork pillow

Annie from Rocky Mountain Bliss shows how you can create a round patchwork pillow using a Dresden plate quilting ruler. I don’t have one of those rulers (yet), but now I’m wanting to add one to my sewing tool chest! The wedge shaped template creates a fun candy striped design. It has a cute vintage style when made from prints, but I’m thinking it would also have a neat modern look if made from solids.
