This Inklingo PDF includes the shapes for flower blocks you can make with 4 inch Clamshells.

Why 4 inch?
The name is Clamshell Rose 4 inch because it uses 4 inch Clamshells but you can use the shapes to make 8 inch, 9 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch and 14 inch blocks—or even to make an entire bed quilt top with one "block."

3 COMBO LAYOUTS!  The shapes are laid out to use fabric efficiently. You can print the shapes separately or use COMBO layouts. They make it especially fast and easy.

At least some of the cutting can be done with rotary cutter. Since the lines are printed on the fabric, you can use scissors, if you prefer. (Video on the Main Clamshell Page)
