I can see it as the 5 minute block or tall/skinny 10 minute block. Use the light blue on one side and the white on the other with the dark blue as the center. Then do the roll back and stitch to form the curve.

I am wanting to make a quilt in the same pattern as the one featured on this page at the very bottom left side (white, lt blue and dark blue). I can't make out what the borders look like exactly so I can't tell what parts there are. Can anyone figure it out?

After looking at this through a magnifying strip I think it is a square and x's I will attemp to attach a picture.Well I can't figure out how to post a picture.
Can anyone help? If you take a sheet of graph paper and draw a square and then turn it on a diagonal, draw a straight line from the top of the square through the centers of the next few squars, you will have the edge of your border. Then do the same for the bottom of th square.
then draw an x along side it another square and another x. I think you will end up with needing a 1/2 square triangle in the top and bottom of the x. Sorry I can't get the picture in but I do not see a "tree" anywhere to click on.

I agree with easypeesy, I think it is done with the squares and half square triangles, rather than the diamonds. When it is sketched on the graph paper this way, it looks more like what shows in the photo. This would be half of the Jacob's Ladder, yes. I do like this border, it looks very nice!
