Do you know this pattern?

LyndaOH that is a very striking purple mock up of a quilt. I can see myself even making it, and maybe soon. Many thanks for using EQ7 to help Sparkling Lake with her problem. I have never seen that block before either.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

It looks like you could break it down a little further as well, it might make it simpler to understand. seeing it as a whole quilt ( I love the purple) with the secondary pattern, I could see a nine patch, then a nine patch using the rail block and Half Square Triangles with the smaller 9 patch in the center. It would be easier than using all the triangles on the edge of each block. Does that make sense to anyone else?

Cut (4) 3-1/2" Blue/White blocks (Cut two of these in half (Not diagonally) for Blue/White block surrounding center 9-patch)
Cut (4) 3-1/2" Red blocks (Cut two of these in half for Red/White block surrounding center 9-patch)
Cut (2) 3-1/2" Green blocks
Cut (6) 3-1/2" White blocks and cut in half diagonally one time
Cut (1) 3-1/2" block and cut it diagonally twice -- these are the four little corners of main block
Cut (1) 18" 1.5" strip of white for the 9-patch and four surrounding 'sandwich' blocks
The 9-patch center block is made from 1.5" squares - use picture to determine how many of each color
Press, do not 'iron' back and forth to help keep your blocks square. Good luck!
