Default Antique Eye Candy

I'm back with a couple new pieces and a question. The four poster quilt sent in today was purchased at an estate sale in Bath ME. The binding is not in the best shape but part of it is green and part is red, as though the maker ran out of one color. I am not familiar with this pattern. If the curator comes in tomorrow I'll see if she can add any information. The other pictures are of an old hexie piece approximately 13 inches square and I have quite a stack of them. The basting and heavy paper pieces or light cardboard are still in place as is the basting which does not show on the front. Beautiful piecing.My question is why all the empty diamond spots between the hexies?
