NanaCsews2, thanks for the link. http://buzzingandbumbling.blogspot.c...-tutorial.html
That is an easy way to do the diamond. I get thoughts in my mind that I have a difficult time putting on paper. This is my thought. I was wondering if you could cut the strip on an angle I think a 45 degree) instead of straight, could you come up with an elongated diamond? Some of you smart ladies could probably have the answer to this.

These aren't diamond on the blog, they are square set on point. Your diamonds are on page one of this post.

Edited to add: a lot of quilting patterns seem very hard, until you can see a pattern in the block. Most of them turn out to be easier than they look. Some, especially the paper pieced blocks are a bit more intricate, but all can be done if we understand how the pattern goes together.
The funny part, is all of you guys and gals make me think, and I really enjoy using EQ7 to solve your questions and it gives me new ideas.
Another thought: the beauty of the floating diamonds with solid squares between them is that you can make them any size as long as the diamonds are twice as long as they are wide. The solid squares can be such that there are only diamonds at the corner areas of the borders, or there can be diamonds on only two sides so that the quilt looks more modern. The possibilities are many.

Hi - I think that Louisana Barb's method would get you closest to what you've drawn.
I own a book called Sets and Sashings for quilts by Phyllis D. Miller, published by the American quilter's
society of Paducah in 2000. It has a 2" sashing called "darting minnows" that is similar but the points of the
diamonds touch. You could see if your library has the book or I could e-mail you the xeroxed pages
if you sent me your e-Mail. Good luck. Judy [[email protected]]
