Beautiful quilt!! But since I'm more than math "challenged", I think I'll just admire these from afar :lol: :lol:

This pattern is very similar to "tumbling Blocks".

Similar idea - the angles are changed -

Everything is based on the idea that a four sided figure will have four inside angles that equal/total 360 degrees.

(Pretty sure those are correct - please change it, if wrong)

All the angles are multiples of 36.

You are a math wizard :D:D:D


What a beautiful design!!! I think it would be a fun EPP project :D:D:D

From what I've found, at one time there was a tutorial using EQ through Patchpieces. She's redesigning her website and the link is broken.

I was thinking the same thing. I love Tumbling Block but am not ready for angles yet - still working on straight lines... The difference is the use of the narrower diamonds around the "stars." It is a lovely pattern.

I can't get over how clever and helpful people are on this board. Thanks, to everyone! I called Paper Pieces.com today and they can cut the pieces for EPP - can't wait! Now just to choose the fabrics....
