I see it as one block. I have no idea what it's called.

I found something similar in BlockBase called "Chain of Diamonds" by Aunt Martha

That is so cool! I love what you all are doing with your designs- haven't a clue how you do it :D

I have some 16 patch blocks made needing attention. I might use this to work them up. Thanks so much for posting this.

You gals and your EQs make it so simple for the rest of us. So cool! And so many ways of looking at the same thing.:)

Great Job, all you computer whizzes! What a beautiful way to work with 16 patch blocks.

Quilter's Cache has a partially paper-pieced pattern for the Aunt Martha version - she calls it Diamond Chain.

Even with paper piecing, I think I would prefer the first version, as shown in the original vintage quilt. I sure do admire the original quiltmaker, no matter which method she used. It's really beautiful!

I love it, would you mind if I use it???

Feel free. I would make it as an 8-inch block, each small square being 1 inch. Or you could make them 1.5" each, resulting in a 12-inch block.

I think someone made this up themselves...even looked in the Brackman book and nothing shows up in this combo!

QUICK somebody buy the copyright to it..hehehe
