Thanks for sharing.
I use a blade(the fabric section not a real blade) template that I cut and that makes 10 blades for this pattern. They start at 8 1/4" and finish at 7 3/4". Just my math for a size I like for a hotpad.

I send these blades out for free. Just send me your postal address. I can also send a pdf file with the blade file if anyone wants it and they can print it off and do it them selves. I just use a fine point magic marker and trace the pattern and then cut it out of thick plastic. I use template plastic that is clear. You need it to be clear so you can trace off some of the features. That way you can place the template on the next spot in the fabric and match the features to get the same fussy cut blade.

I can make other sizes. I do have one that makes 5 blades and makes a 3 1/2" or 4" DK Without looking I can't say for sure the size but around that.
