Alrighty, here is my version: I chose red, black and white, because I love the contrast of the colors.
This is after adding the chevrons (or braids) onto the 6 5/8 inch block.

A 6 5/8 block is cut in half and sewn on the sides for the triangles.

All four blocks are added together to form what will be the Center of the quilt.

I manage to quilt at the ungodly hour of 4:30am , here is the latest. This one is for my daughter's friend and cheer co-captain for her 18th birthday. I rarely repeat a pattern but I liked this so much that I have already started piecing one for me. I saw the pattern on the board but no directions so I had to try and figure them out - as a result I think I cut things wrong because I keep cutting off the points!!!! grrr - hopefully no one will notice. Also my first attempt at an all over FMQ pattern rather than quilting within each block.

Hey reeskylr, so a couple of questions/comments. Are the braids 6 5/8" as well? I did 6.5" just because its difficult to cut all the strips with that 5/8th measurement. Also you may run into the same problem I did...when you start to join the blocks to the center, will you lose your points? Especially on the last rows before you bind? That's where mine lost its points. This was a great effort though! I wonder if EQ would help here? Btw I LOVE your color combo!!!

Here is what I did on my EQ I used 12" finished and added 1/4" seam allowances. You'd have to trim the strips to the 30 degree?? angle before adding the triangles
