Default Want to make a Dresden Plate with only 10 Blades?

I have the Easy Dresden Ruler Template and I would like to make a small Dresden Plate that does not require 20 blades. I would like to have a plate with 10 blades or less if this is possible. Using the ruler that I have, what size would I need to cut my blades to get what I would like? Thank you!

if you have 20 blades, just cut 2 as one.

I spend time with my paper and pencils before I cut fabric! Take your ruler and draw out two blades touching (reminder, watch you seam allowances). Then redraw the top part of the blade - now you have a template for a double sized blade.

Circle 360 degrees
divide by 10
each blade 36 degrees
make a template
add seam allowances
should work
