this may be overkill but here goes....

http://pinkcaramelsy.blogspot.com/se...Free%20Pattern scroll down
this is apparently the blog page you mentioned where she crossed out the free pattern link and added the one to the bunny embroidery. Note what she said about the pattern requests she got from overseas (she's in Japan?), sounds like it was her own pattern and she stopped sending the pattern out.
then in looking more, on one of the pages on the way to the blog was this info apparently from her original info about the block:
"free pattern. Partially sew the triangles to the square. Then go back and finish the seams that attach triangle to triangle. Start with square and lower ..."
and here's a pic of the block pattern:

I thought that along the way in my travels I'd seen something about it being paper pieced but maybe that was from one of the posts here.
Don't know if this helps or not! you got good advice here!

All the pieces have four sides - funny how our eyes "see" triangles - and there are none in the block.
There is a square in the middle - and the other four pieces are quadrilaterals -
A square is a very specific quadrilateral.

What a neat block pattern. You don't see the effect until you piece four blocks together. Thanks for all the links and explanations. The drawing from pinterest link where it is broken down into quarters illustrates how you could make this block any size you wanted by just dividing it into quarters and drawing your lines.
I'm sure you could cut this by using templates or angles on your ruler but paper piecing would take care of the issues with bias edges stretching.
A good block for using scraps

Picture of block
I made this quilt for my granddaughter. It was easy and fun to make. I used a template and my rotary cutter to cut the shapes. Then I used the shapes as a pattern to cut more. I did it this way to save material. It was directional and I wanted to make the quilt as big as I could. The fabric is called "Totes on bolts" and it had three different patterns on the same piece of material. The diagonal border was made by joining little leftover pieces.
