I see it as one block. I have no idea what it's called.

I found something similar in BlockBase called "Chain of Diamonds" by Aunt Martha

I would definitely prefer to piece the first version - the one with a 16-patch in the center. All these y-seams give me the hives just looking at them! :D

Two different layouts of this block in the same quilt top

I have some 16 patch blocks made needing attention. I might use this to work them up. Thanks so much for posting this.

You gals and your EQs make it so simple for the rest of us. So cool! And so many ways of looking at the same thing.:)

Quilter's Cache has a partially paper-pieced pattern for the Aunt Martha version - she calls it Diamond Chain.

Even with paper piecing, I think I would prefer the first version, as shown in the original vintage quilt. I sure do admire the original quiltmaker, no matter which method she used. It's really beautiful!

Feel free. I would make it as an 8-inch block, each small square being 1 inch. Or you could make them 1.5" each, resulting in a 12-inch block.
