Maybe Rhonda Vous uses those patches. 
I have been making these from .018” ticking material. These are far superior to just any ol patch because of the shape!
Will be celebrating Texas Independence Day soon with them.

If you use the silk daisy’s you’ll get another 40 yards.
I have no curiosity as to how another patches their balls…for the curious and the record:
My balls won’t be patched in daisies, pansies or tulips or any of those plastic cups with the funny French name that nobody says correctly.
You mean those saybutts?
Definitely not putting my authentic cast balls in something with a name like that…

I use them too, if I am not using paper cartridges in my Charleville.
The daisy cut patches fold nicely around the ball and make it easier to ram them home.

IF, I'm not cutting at the Muzzle I can prep and lube 50 square patches with width equal to the circumference of the ball in less than 15 minutes. I proved to myself with comparisons that they shoot exactly the same as cut at the Muzzle and round patches.
Not trying to persuade anyone on the matter. Just what I've figured out over time.

I cut & lube my own from cotton cloth, just cut 'em square and they shoot just fine.
I like October but these patches are a head scratcher.

It's one of many gimmicks that come and go. If enough shooters like them they will remain on the market. It's not a re invention of the wheel, just a different shaped wheel. No reason they shouldn't work as well as any other pre cut patch but if there's a revolutionary improvement I'm not seeing it.
Those are commonly known as a nonsense gimmick.
Are they scented?
They work well for me, I use a regular round patch for an overpowder patch as well.

No just gimmick. I cut round ones. Or use rolled strip with cuts i can tear at the muzzle. Look up maniac black powder shooter youtube video thats where i git the idea. Mark Humphries is a nut in a entertaining good way.
We found them to be not forgiving at all if the ball is not perfectly centered
