I haven't used this particular pattern myself, but there's one on Quilter's Cache:

For 20-blade Dresdens, I use the "Easy Dresden" ruler by Darlene Zimmerman. It comes with complete instructions, and a chart showing the size the wedges need to be in order to make a block the size you want. The ruler was only about $7, so it's a good value for the money.
For 10-blade Dresdens, I use the "36-Degree Double Wide Dresden" ruler by Me and My Sister Designs. It has a pattern book (sold separately) which has lots of ideas and traceable/copy-able templates inside it.
