This is a combination of three blocks. I've drafted them and they are fairly easy to do.

The problem with looking at it as 3 blocks is that you will have a seam line right through the center of the diamonds. I don't think that looks very good, so I would use the one-block approach.

I agree with dunster's layout out. It makes more sense and I would not want a seam in my diamond. It also makes for bulky seams when piecing the three blocks together. The less seams the better.

That was my thought, also. But I think that I would go with the pattern from quilters cache on page 2. Thanks for finding it.

It is very beautiful. As I've always said, "depending on which foot you are standing it is........." I like it, all of it.

Dunster - please look at the original quilt and the 3 block solution again. I don't see a seam 'right in the middle of the diamond'. I THINK the original quilt does have a seam joining the kaleidescope-like piece and a triangle, so the 3 block solution works. Maybe I'm just 'seeing' things, though - LOL. My eyes are starting to glaze over after looking at all these pictures!
