12" Windflower Quilt Block

The Windflower block is curvy block that reminds me both of a flower and a windmill. That is probably how it got its name. Keep scrolling down below for the cutting instructions needed to create one of these blocks.

To make this block you will need a 3″ finished quarter circle template. I have a free download here:
