    the curves?

    I have never seen this before, but I know that doesn't mean it didn't exist before I saw it!! Anybody recognize it? Have a fantastic easy way I can do it? Know where I should purchase a pattern?

    much love, all of you wonderful answer-ladies!

    Only 4 black diamonds don't seem to fit - the other 2 form the points of the star.

    I drew the diamonds up with light, medium and dark blues. Thanks for sharing. I suspect the artist who made this simply added the outer ring to an existing pattern...but that's my opinion.

    ok - I drew it! Keep in mind, I can't tell if the Christmas tree is straight! You guys are right, that four of those dark diamonds don't 'fit'.

    I am *so* glad that the general consensus is that the diamonds are all the same size! wow, that would be too much for me! I used a compass to help track where the 'off' diamonds would be . . . can you see the lines?

    Figuring out how to piece the mixed diamonds would be time consuming, and error prone I think. SO - I am off to research a carpenter's star!

    my next step would be to transfer the (lone?) star to graph paper . . .

    LOVE this board, you bunch of geniuses you!!

    I wasn't clear. The outer diamonds are not on the same plane as the inner diamonds

    My opinion, too. the outer circle finishes it nicely, but isn't part of the inner design.
