You can see this Ribbon Flower “peony” in wonderful shades of pink on the Quilt Obsession blog, designed and sewn by Cathi.
Go ahead! Choose your fabrics and prepare a cheat sheet.
Freezer paper sheets can be used over and over again. The freezer paper sheet for 6 Shape C is used for the blue flowered fabric and the white background fabric.
Many of the designs look different when they are turned 90°. This is exactly the same as the first block.

I agree with you, Sherrie. Cheat sheets make everything simpler. Almost anything seems easier when we take it one step at a time and that is certainly true for quilting!
Thank you, Cathi!
You and I have a lot in common.
I think of you whenever I am designing anything with curves.
Linda,
I so appreciate Monkey’s cheat sheet. Tells us just what we need to print, and sizes and color placement. Most helpful with Ribbon Flower shapes especially. Thanks again a hundred times. Possibilities are indeed endless.
This collection is mesmerizing! There are so many different looks one could get, even with the same set of fabrics, that it’s impossible not to want to sew them all just varying the placement of fabrics! I was immediately drawn to this design when the Smart Shoppers Idea Book came out so now it’s like Christmas in July, having this to play with!
Your designs are fantastic! We are all very, very fortunate that you had the brilliant idea of Inklingo in the first place AND that you continue to inspire us with wonderful designs like Ribbon Flower!!
Thank you, Donna! These shapes are still surprising me with ideas!
Wow! It’s amazing how that extra little clamshell shape E added between the ribbons can make Ribbon Flower bloom into twice its fullness. It’s like an optical illusion! I had to go back and watch the video a few times to figure out how it looked so full!
Great job Linda! You knocked it out of the park with this collection!
