Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My Mom, whom we just lost, was an avid quilter. She once made a version of a log cabin with a triangular center. I am looking for the name and the pattern. Can anyone help? I have a picture but do not know how to post it. Any help would be appreciated.
Riley Blake Designs has one. Basically, you just start with a triangle instead of a square and add strips going around.
sorry for your loss.
This is how to post a photo:
first do this:

there is also a book on different shaped log cabin blocks:

http://sewfestivehandmade.blogspot.c...tructions.html I just googled and found this. Not I'll go back and see if I can figure out how to put the triangles together. It looks interesting.

I am so sorry, it is a diamond and each of the diamonds (6 of them) make into a star and then she has worked another diamond log cabin between each of those. Hope this makes sense.
There is also a picture of a diamond log cabin block.
I think I made one like this about 20 years ago. If i remember correctly it was from a magazine called Quilt. They had a feature of easy patterns by Sunbonnet Sue or something like this. You start with a 2 1/2 inch 90 degree diamond and work it around just like a regular log cabin-however many colors you want. I probably don't have the instructions anymore but maybe from this someone can help you figure it out.
Interesting. Would like to see how this is made into a quilt.
If you click on the amazon one you can turn the book to the back and there is a picture of a triangle log cabin on the back.
It also depends on your skill level. Even tho I have been quilting for almost 3 decades, I try to avoid bias edges as much as possible. You might consider paper piecing:
