Paper Piecing Patterns for Quilters
Arabesque Paper Piecing Quilt Block Pattern
Arabesque

My dictionary defines arabesque as "a complex and ornate design of intertwined floral, foliate, and geometrical figures." It's a fitting name for this paper piecing pattern, as you'll find when you see this block set with other identical blocks. Take care in selecting colors for this block to achieve the intertwined ribbon and folded star effects.

 

To help in using Arabesque in your own patchwork project, a line drawing of Arabesque blocks set together is here for you to color in different ways.
