I have a photo of a great and challenging (to me) sunburst quilt block. I have done much more simple foundation paper piecing, but I am literally going crazy trying to figure out what I need to do to piece the 4 sided red diamonds in the sunburst below with all the seams smoothly on the backside. (It doesn’t have to be FPP).
I have spent hours looking online for a solution or information on piecing this sunburst, but I can’t find anything. It could be that I don’t know the right “buzz words” to generate a useful search.
Any help at all on pointing me to books, lessons, or videos where I could learn how to complete this amazing sunburst would be greatly appreciated!
***Sorry, “attachments” are not working. Will try again.

Thanks! The screen on my IPad is rather small, and I didn't even think of scrolling to the side. The Webmaster has me in lockout to edit my post, seems I exceeded the 20 minutes of editing time after posting. If I can't fix it, I'll copy to a new post.

Totally intrigued ... and hope you figure out how to get your pic uploaded here.
Though I am no hope in the how to ... I gave up on posting pics on this site, a long time ago!
If you do get it figured out, just do it as a new post to this thread, rather than start a new.

Totally Weird about the photo .... your post says it was posted at 4:45pm.
Yet when I posted at 6:09pm ... your duplicate post/words were there, but no sign of a photo.
Thus my post at the time.
As for the piecing of your sunburst ... me-thinks this is meant for the good ol'fashioned, really ol'fashioned method of hand piecing, along with hand applque!
It is beautiful!!
