If someone were going to do the faux TB pattern, it's certainly seems the easiest way to go - so many construction possibilities, and easily adjustable to any size. Also, the setting - straight or on-point - allows for even more variations.



I thought I saw a reference to Jaybird on your thread, so I just included the link.
And I agree about doing it the original way - there is just something aesthetically pleasing about those 60 diamonds!


FoUnd what Imwanted on the WonderCut ruler website.
Link? Just curious.

I did get that you wanted to do it with HST's - but there is a difference between HST patches and HST blocks.
Which is why I suggested the S-in-a-S block.:)
It was hard to tell from your picture where the seam lines were, and if the square was one piece of fabric or seamed.
Looked like one piece to me.

At a quick glance, all the references to TB patterns on the Wondercut site use 60 degree triangles. Although, I did see a S-in-a-S block made with HST blocks (with all outside bias edges - yuck).


Slightly OT, here's an audacious floor treatment (probably not a great suggestion for anyone with balance problems).
