I think it is a block I have downloaded free from Quilt blocks Pro. If you are not a member, they send you a block of the day every day, and they also archive the old blocks. Well worth registering.

I measured the upper right square as 2.5" finished, not 3". I agree that the strips are 1" finished. That will give
you the center diagonal unit.
Then just use a triangle ruler to get the right sized triangles to complete the 6" square.
With son many triangles to cut, you would probably want to take the height of the triangle as your
strip set size and then cut many with your triangle ruler - first using the triangle ruler straight up and
then turning it 180º to get a triangle point down, thus maximizing how many triangles you get from
your strips. Good luck - if this is too confusing for you, then you need to call the shop owner and buy the pattern-Judy

on easily tearable paper and paper-piecing the center diagonal unit as mentioned in earlier replies. Last resort-print out 6" block and cut it into pieced- trace these onto template plastic - and cut and sew.
Really last resort, call the shop owner and ask if there is a pattern for sale - if not, then go back to the above
methods. You can do it. - Judy

I absolutely love this block and the scrappy pattern.
Has anyone come up with a title for this quilt?
I am not good at following directions unless I have the pattern in front of me.
For some reasons cannot get answers to questions on here like before the new format.

Default Paper pieced pattern for my Corner Tulip block

You all are so welcome! I could never repay what I learn on the Quilting Board, so I'm happy to help with a pattern when I can. I've attached the paper pieced version. Enjoy!

Default Options for the pattern

Again, you're very welcome!

I wrote to the Etsy seller to find out what size her blocks are finished at. It turns out that hers finish at 5 1/2" (they are 6" unfinished). Mine finish at 6" and are 6 1/2" unfinished. I've attached two JPGs of what each look like in one setting. I'm also going to post PDFs of the 5 1/2" finished block, although I have to admit I like my 6" block better because the seam on each side is at the center of the side. I feel like it's much easier to piece with and to design with, but I wanted to give you all the options. The first picture is the 5 1/2" blocks, and the second is my 6" block.

I call mine (the 6" block) the Corner Tulip block. I should and will try to write up instructions for it on my blog. It is such a simple block, and so pretty to make. I've done it in a number of settings, and it always seems to look good.
