Yes, there is a thick plastic ruler that I have seen sold at Joannes, similar to the one available for dresden plates or diamonds.

This is not what I think I saw a few years ago but is close...

Bought this same kit. I do not usually get kits but could not resist. Have not even opened it yet so have no idea about ruler but will be watching posts.

You will need a special ruler to help with curved piecing. My suggestion is also call Connecting Threads, they probably can help out. Good Luck and don't forget the pics when you finish!

I got my CT book and I know there is a curved ruler to do this. I have seen them. However I read the article on this particular pattern and they don't offer it. Try Joann's and see if they sell it. I think it was a quilt shop that sold it.

just looked at the pattern description of the pattern in the catalog and it said that it is made of "one single template"

I would imagine that it will be in the pattern
