Dresden plate question

[piecemaker]

I am doing a crib size dresden. My question is should I cut away the block fabric under the plate or just leave it? Thanks for the help

Just leave it, I don't see any reason to cut it out.

It will still be very flat, even with the extra fabric.

Wow that was fast. I thought I was the only up this late or is it early. I was leaning toward leaving it. Just wanted to ask to be sure

I'm in Alaska, so it wasn't all that late for me.

I love the dresden plate pattern.

I always leave it on mine
