The proportions of the blocks seem different (original quilt design request and the block referred to in post #16)
However, that method does use two fewer pieces than the way I came up with. It does require four shapes - two of them reversed. The "piineapple" method mentioned by Peckish.

After looking at my drawings more carefully - the method shown in post 16 is the way to go.
After checking my math - the corner units will be too small the way I drafted them.
(6 times the diagonal is less than 9 times the vertical.)

Well - I would have made life easier for myself if I had looked at this before I started all my drawings!
Peckish - I have to bow to you on this one.

On the other hand - I learned something even if no one else did!
