Yard Sale Treasure...

I went to a yard sale today and there was a pile of fabric, mostly Christmas and some vintage calicos.  I asked the lady how much she wanted for the fabric...$2.  I came home and discovered I have about 15 yards of fabric all together, and some is even cut into strips already!  I have a project for those strips :).

Anyway, as I sorted through the fabric, I found a little bag, opened it up and there was this:


Whoever started this project quit because the blades are all hand-sewn and the centers are sewn on machine, which bunched it up - the entire Dresden plate doesn't lie flat.

This will be an easy fix - rip out the centers, place them by hand, and all will be well.  I have no idea why there are only 5 - there is no other matching fabric at all. 

My daughter suggested placing one in the center and off-setting the other 4.  Sounds good to me.  Now, to find a nice background...plain white, or should I get adventurous?  We shall see...
