These shapes are endlessly fascinating. I have shared many more examples like these on the Inklingo Facebook page in the past few weeks. I hope you are following there.

I suspect most quilters will hand piece to get a perfect intersection in the center but there are good opportunities for machine piecing some of the seams. I combine hand and machine for a "hybrid" to get the best of both worlds.
