What am I missing?
I found an Antiquities Medallion quilt from Heidi Pridemore using Michael Miller fabrics. It is stunning. However, the directions say to use a 9 degree ruler and cut 41 medallion segments. There is a Note that says there is not an even number of segments. I am so confused because 360 degrees is divisible by 9 and indicates 40 should be number. Sure enough, got the calculator and it confirmed by math. What did I miss? I like stack and whacks and think this would be such a natural pattern for that method. Do you think the 41st one accommodates variations in seam allowances. Help!
