Thanks, AmyJo, but I have tumbling blocks only on my bucket list! I did a recent one with hexagons and a kaleidoscope with Octagons[ATTACH=CONFIG]305079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]305080[/ATTACH]
Mucky, I happened to see your post. Good luck!

Actually MTS, that wasn't one I used - I got some ideas from a ruler ad and figured it from there! Will have to see if I kept the reference. [ATTACH=CONFIG]305081[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]305083[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]305086[/ATTACH]
I started to make a sort of tutorial for myself on doing hex's and octa's. It's Word document and I'd be happy to e-mail you a copy if it would help! It just makes it so easy. Just shoot me a PM.
I really want to do a TBlocks but the original way, not with the seam like Marti Michell does.

There's a quilt on Clotilde that looks like what you want. Check it out. It's called "Shadow Play". Here's the link:

If someone were going to do the faux TB pattern, it's certainly seems the easiest way to go - so many construction possibilities, and easily adjustable to any size. Also, the setting - straight or on-point - allows for even more variations.
And I agree about doing it the original way - there is just something aesthetically pleasing about those 60 diamonds!
FoUnd what Imwanted on the WonderCut ruler website.
Link? Just curious.
I did get that you wanted to do it with HST's - but there is a difference between HST patches and HST blocks.
Which is why I suggested the S-in-a-S block.
It was hard to tell from your picture where the seam lines were, and if the square was one piece of fabric or seamed.
Looked like one piece to me.
At a quick glance, all the references to TB patterns on the Wondercut site use 60 degree triangles. Although, I did see a S-in-a-S block made with HST blocks (with all outside bias edges - yuck).
Slightly OT, here's an audacious floor treatment (probably not a great suggestion for anyone with balance problems).

Hi, Easy! How're you doing? Am I right to assume this design uses HST's, also? Looks very doable. 'Spose you could also use a center square on point and sew the triangles to it. Boy, it would take a lot of accurate sewing!!
