connecting many points of sketch together

I have this http://a360.co/2iq8233 and I'm trying to get the curve tips together to make one curve

Any help would be appreciated

Fusion 360 can't handle that many circular pattern objects in one sketch. It would be better to use just one of the small splines/ellipses/petals and extrude it. Adding a line between the end points will let you do this. Once it's extruded, you can do a circular pattern on the extruded body/component.

It looks like each petal is about .925492 degrees wide which is close to 360/390, but not exact. I'd suggest redrawing a single petal by drawing two lines starting at the origin and set their angular dimension to 360/390 (or however many petals you want). Next draw a circle centered on the origin with a diameter of where you want the individual petals to meet. Add a circle for the outside diameter and another line in the middle of petal and you will have all of the points needed to create a petal that will create a closed shape when the circular pattern is made. Extrude that petal, then do the circular pattern using the extrusion.
