I can't remember the name. I know I've seen it before. I can tell you it is made of (equilateral?) triangles which are each made of three smaller triangles in three different fabrics. Those (equilateral?) triangles are pieced with a Y seam. Look closely at the picture and you can find the large triangles. For instance, look at the lime green "Y" in the bottom row. The top left light green part of the "Y" is made of a triangle with smaller triangles in these colors: blue, black and lime green. You could make this without a pattern but you need to graph it out on paper and color in all the small triangles so they form the "Y" shapes when joined. Finding a pattern would surely be easier, lol.

Now that you've pointed it out, I see the hexagons, too. I think this pattern can also be made with hexagons split in half with different colors on each half. In that case it would probably be put together with EPP'ing. Whereas if made with the large triangles, they would be straight seamed side by side and the construction would be all straight seams with the rows on the diagonal.

It is called "Roll of the Dice" in this book by Marci Baker:

I have seen that pattern made up too but not sure what the name of it is. I don't think it is "Tumbling Blocks". I thought it was called something like "city buildings"??? Good luck in your search. I am sure someone on this wonderful QB will find it for you.
