Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hello all!
I know how to make a dresden plate (thanks to the person who gave me a template!)
What I am trying to figure out is the math to calculate it so I can make my own template. For example, if I want 8 "petals" how do I do those calculations.
The template ruler that I have gives me 21 petals - that's too many for the one I want to do!
Thanks so much in advance, because I know that someone on here knows how to do it!
Hope everyone enjoyed their summer!

A circle has 360 degrees, so you divide 360 by the number of petals you want. 360 divided by 8 is 45, so your template needs to be 45 degrees.

360 degree divided by 8 = 45 degree. I just bought the Creative grid 45 degree spider web ruler from hancock's of Paducah. I want to use it for stack and whack and dresdens. Good luck.
Well heck, I feel like a total idiot ... was that ever easy LOL
Thanks ladies!
Oh the math we forget!! If I could have learned as much as I've forgotten, I would have been a very smart human!!
