I really enjoyed that top. The fabrics and the colors are all period perfect. It doesn't come right to mind to me, but there were similar designs and this may be some degree of original.

My block reference books are currently packed in my sewing room organization. It might help the search to see what I think is the broken down block design. In some ways it helps that I started before the rotary revolution where, for the most part, all I had were black white books/newspaper columns.

I don't know if it was a deliberate thing, but if you divide it in half on the "other" diagonal axis, one end is all rounded and the other side is straight lines.

This is a rough cut, more for the visual than the actual details, but pretty close.

Edit: Of course,now that I go back to relook at the original. this was not the construction technique used... a combination of pieced and applique? All set in? Maybe the blue diamonds were added to fill in ragged edges??
