I agree with Dunster, I think it's Manx. Looking carefully at the picture the OP posted, you can very clearly see gaps and shadows where the folds are that would not be there if it was paper-pieced. The second picture has nothing to do with this, it's simply a road map you could use for either technique.

Hello Quilting Friends, I am new to this forum - I hope to help others as well as ask for help as I am today: I am a veteran quilter and have quilted many different styles of quilting. I came across the pinterest photo in the link above yesterday. I have stared at it for some time trying to determine how this is done. There doesn't appear to be related information about this design other than this link I also found:

My question is... since these sections are folded, rather than sewn, how is this assembled exactly? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

I would think each round was sewed to the previous round after being folded and tucked. One of the ladies at the guild said that is the way she did one that is very similar to the one you have pictured.

I found this site doing a search. https://icebearquilts.wordpress.com/...ial-technique/
When I saw the first photo above of the pieced ones, they seem to have all the same center fabric and it looks like a version of the folded log cabin method. I have never heard of the Manx method, and it does look interesting--in the small scale pictured.
Not something I would want to try unless it would be a trivet near the microwave.

The original diagram looks to be the same as those used in paper crafting, where it is called Iris folding. They can be made in any shape and can be quite complicated and can be easily adapted to fabrics.

Yep, looks like paper pieceing to me too. I love, love to do PP but haven't in some time. Right now I'm into machine embroidery & soon to start on my last grandbaby's graduation quilt. Made 7 before her's...
