While going thru my closet, i came across forty 7 1/2 inch white squares that i had cut out a while back. I realy want to make the Dresden Plate pattern. I make a circle on paper that measures 6 1/2 inches round. I have spent several hours trying to figure out how big the blades should be....with no luck.
I'll admit that i'm not good at that kind of math. lol I was thinking maybe 8 blades to each plate. Can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help me with this? I will be forever grateful. TIA Cheryl

Not good at math either, but check out this site, it may help. Their version has a few pointed petals, but still all the same width, just different end.

Here's one - looks like it has more petals;
