Holice, here are *some* construction instructions in the pattern, but they're not super detailed.

The main trick is to sew the wedges from the centre out and to start the seam a quarter inch in from the centre (which is why you have to hand stitch the centre of the spiral together at the end.) She also taught us to put a tiny snip to mark the mid point in each blade seam, just to help check that the two pieces of fabric are aligned.

This is a picture of the spiral in construction - it might give you some hints if you're a visual learner like me. Looking at your avatar, you seem to be an expert already though :-)
