This is probably one of the simplest patterns you could pick. It is simply six different fabric squares, with a nine patch between each square. The nine patch is made up of the fabrics of the adjacent two "solid" squares. Easy peasy. The book has them set on point, but I made them straight (so no setting squares! LOL) which gives the diamond pattern. Essentially this is a trip around the world alternating plain squares with nine patches.
