Thanks! I came up with the idea after seeing this: http://www.acraftyfox.net/tutorial/i...late-tutorial/

I used their blade template and drew my own circle using a stencil because I wanted one larger than their template. When I stitched the blades, I used a 1/4" seam and then trimmed it to about a scant 1/8" and pressed them open. I used a bit of fray check to keep the threads from unraveling in the seams, because I didn't want to bulk them up too much with back stitching since the blades were so small.
