I am looking for the name of this quilt. Does anyone reconize it?
Thanks.

It is in the String Quilt Revival, I think it is called Diamonds.

It's just made up of the one simple block.

As long as the yellow fabric is the same size and position on every block, the secondary pattern of yellow X's/stars will emerge as in the picture.
The other fabrics look to be of varying widths (makes it easier so you DON'T have to match them up).
Just sew the on, and then trim up the block to size.

You could easily draft it yourself.

Many thanks for all your responses. You have been a great help. When I made the yellow star pattern I marked mine 3". and made a lap quilt. Then I lost the pattern. It is a fun way to use up scraps.
