How fun! I have some blocks my mom never put together. Your mom would be so happy to see you putting together her blocks and making a quilt. In case you're unfamiliar with this technique, once you've got all the plates made you can sew lightweight fusible interfacing to them. Don't sew on the circle until after you do the following:

Cut squares a bit larger than the plates - lay smooth side of the interfacing (rough side is the glue) on top of the right side of the fabrics - sew around the edge a scant 1/4 " - trim off excess interfacing - clip up to the stitching at the corner of each blade - turn them right side out - iron in place onto the background fabric squares. It'll save you from having to turn under all those blades.

Make sure to post another picture when you have the top done, please.
