This Inklingo PDF includes the shapes for the 12 inch block, plus . . .

. . . the mirror image and . . .

. . . a bonus shape for variations and . . .

. . . edge shapes, so the entire block can be pieced, if desired.

Instructions for appliquéing Ribbon Flower to a background are also included, so you can design your own variations.

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.
