Default What are these templates for?

I came across these templates somewhere but cannot remember where. What are they used for? Marking a quilt top? cutting out fabric? Marking Baptist fan pattern on top for quilting? Hmmmm
I know someone here on the forum has an answer.

They look like Dresden patterns.

Designing parts of circles with uncommon measurements?

Take the 45° and add the 15° to either side. 15 and 45 are 60° but with the added 15° you wind up with 75° arc which is not common.

Draftsmen would use a protractor, a quilter might not.

I could see using the 45° as a main template in a dark color and the 2 15° as a lighter color making a different looking flower.

That might not be so easy to measure.

I could have some fun using something like that to lay out quilting, too. All the unusual with half the work.

I think it says "Quilt like a pro / with ESP" (ESP being "Extra special products")

I googled "Extra Special Products" and found that slogan on other products, but found nothing that looked like these.
