More pink ribbons

October - National Breast Cancer Awareness Month - is fast approaching.
In honor of that observance, and to create one more fundraiser at my workplace, I am attempting to collect and/or make enough pink ribbon blocks to make a beautiful, scrappy pink ribbon quilt.
To review the entire story behind this quilt, refer to the original post. Yes, we will still welcome donations!
These six sets of blocks were all made by a co-worker, Lorrie. This is her first attempt at paper piecing and she's doing a great job! She's also just about ready to murder me for dragging her into this project.
On the surface this appears to be a very simple paper piecing pattern.
And, for an experienced pp-er it isn't too bad.
The only difficult part is the first two pieces on the upper portion that make
 the white center of the loop.
You can cut 2.5" strips (many of these were strip swap pieces) and
do the entire block with strips and not have much waste.
So far, we've been making blocks with donated scraps of various pink (any and all shades)
and WOW fabrics.
