My Mom, whom we just lost, was an avid quilter. She once made a version of a log cabin with a triangular center. I am looking for the name and the pattern. Can anyone help? I have a picture but do not know how to post it. Any help would be appreciated.

Riley Blake Designs has one. Basically, you just start with a triangle instead of a square and add strips going around.

sorry for your loss.
This is how to post a photo:
first do this:

then do this:

there is also a book on different shaped log cabin blocks:

I am so sorry, it is a diamond and each of the diamonds (6 of them) make into a star and then she has worked another diamond log cabin between each of those. Hope this makes sense.

If you click on the amazon one you can turn the book to the back and there is a picture of a triangle log cabin on the back.

There is also a picture of a diamond log cabin block.

Interesting. Would like to see how this is made into a quilt.

It also depends on your skill level. Even tho I have been quilting for almost 3 decades, I try to avoid bias edges as much as possible. You might consider paper piecing:

I just googled "diamond log cabin quilt" and came up with quite a few photos. May be patterns also.
