I was asked today if I'd seen it. Seems someone has tweaked the tumbling lock into 3 triangles. Lady wants to make it caused she found it interesting.
Anyone seen it online anywhere?
I have done it and regular tumbling blocks. The advantages are NOT having Y seams and making straight vertical lines of half blocks, so putting the whole thing together is simpler, but you have more total seams. If you are new to this sort of geometry, the pieces are a 60* triangle and a 60* diamond. Many rulers will give you the angles you need.
