This was on the sign at our local greenway! I am so taken with it!! I can see the sixty degree star, and I am coloring what I can on my paper . .
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!

Agreed. The easiest thing might be to copy to paper, take a straight edge and draw lines from tip of one triangle to the tip of the far triangle and see what you get. I'm guessing something based on an 8 point star in the center----------not far off from a carpenter's star or something similar.

Lara122,
The last row of diamonds only looks bigger. The illusion is caused by the angle of the picture changing the perspective. Also. the diamonds tend to confuse the perspective.

I have that printed star diagram from fons and porter . . I am going to extend the diamonds so I can color the whole thing, then maybe transfer it to graph paper . . .
I penciled in the curve, and it does look similar to the picture.
Is it me, or are their last row of brown diamonds bigger?

I printed out the pic. First thing to do is to draw another circle just inside the brown/blue circle that hits the ends of the diamonds in that circle and the outer ends of the main pattern diamonds. Won't be a true circle, you can see the actual pattern more clearly..
Then roll the pic until you have an even plane across the center. It might even help to cut the outer circle off so the inner 8 star pattern with the other squares are more visible.
the easiest way to construct the blue/brown, with white, star is with half square triangles. It's not a carpenter's star ------------but a very close relative.
