Dresden plate with no special rulers or templates

Rebecca,
I have not seen any hand applique that does not look like chicken scratch on the back. :) It is the front and durability that count.
Now we know who we can go to with our math questions.
It's great that your profession meshes so well with your quilting!

Oh my goodness, you are brilliant!! AND when I read this I just had to go try it out, and it works!! I've made 12 YES TWELVE gorgeous dresden's in Christmas fabric. I've never done this before and don't have a fancy ruler either, just followed your instructions.
I do have a question however,.....how in the world did you come up with 105 degrees? I understand 360 divided by 12 equals 30 degrees, but where does the 105 degrees come from?
While I'm going on like this, I've been trying to figure out how to do a nine bladed dresden plate, which would be 360 divided by 9 equals 40 degrees, but what is the rest of the calculation? Basically, how did you figure out 105 degrees, and what would that number be with 40 degrees and 9 sections?
Thanks a lot for your wonderful tute. I'm hooked on dresden plates, just need some more math help from you!!
