I had seen a photo of this quilt years ago, and couldn't find any directions, so I drafted the pattern myself. Lots of trial and error to make those green diamonds.

I have a book with the pattern in it and it has templates for the trapazoid and the diamonds. I bet that was a bugger to draft. The pattern went together really well. So if you ever want to do another, holler and I will let you borrow my pattern.

Thanks, too bad your offer wasn't available when I did it, but drafting the pattern was good for me to do.
