I found the pattern in a quilt book my Mom had, Quilt Designs old favorites-and new, thats the title of it. It says another Aunt Martha's creation book # 3175 and it cost 63 cents when she bought it, no date on it. And when I made it I cut out each diamond, but since then I've found out you can sew the strips together and then cut them out, I don't know how exactly but you might check into it, that would make it much easier. Have fun, its one quilt I'll always remember.
