Question-Dresden Plate

I want to make a Dresden plate quilt. I want to make the blocks 6 inches. Does anyone know of a site where I can purchase a template ruler which is smaller than the ones at Joannes? I have that one but the blades are too big for the this size block. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have the marti Mitchell templates, http://www.frommarti.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=PPT
But it is small LOL. I made some test petals and am in doubt if I 'll do an entire quilt with them :-)

I have one Dresden ruler that has various lengths for varied number of blades. I can make my blades very small. Just remember (unless you want skinny blades) the number of blades would be fewer. I can make 8" blades with mine. you can also Google Dresden plate block and there are a lot of videos on it. The size of the center is totally your choice.
