Default how to calculating a quilting design on borders?

Been searching on the net all afternoon on a way to calculate measurements for fmq designs on borders.
I thought I had it figured out last night but it didn't work. I want to fmq half-circle designs so I measured the length of the completed top and then divided that measurement by the diameter of the circle. (I was using a dessert plate). I was off by more than half a plate.
Since I'm a beginner of fmq, I need to draw out the design on the borders first with water soluble ink. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks!
Peggy
