This was on the sign at our local greenway! I am so taken with it!! I can see the sixty degree star, and I am coloring what I can on my paper . .
the curves? I have never seen this before, but I know that doesn't mean it didn't exist before I saw it!! Anybody recognize it? Have a fantastic easy way I can do it? Know where I should purchase a pattern? much love, all of you wonderful answer-ladies! |

I think it is diamonds all the same size just colour arrangement make the difference. Should be easy to draw and then colour in to make pattern. If I remember the circle will just happen because you start from a star shape.

If you are doing 45 degree diamonds just remember to iron your fabric straight of grain or you will have wonkie diamonds
|
There are four sides to the center and eight points. Wouldn't that make the diamonds 22 1/2 degrees?

Lara122,
The last row of diamonds only looks bigger. The illusion is caused by the angle of the picture changing the perspective. Also. the diamonds tend to confuse the perspective. |
You can get a very similar look with the Carpenter's Star which can be done with all HST as well. Just thought I would mention it.
|
someone did that for the City. Contact the City offices and see what you can find out. worth a try.

I penciled in the curve, and it does look similar to the picture. Is it me, or are their last row of brown diamonds bigger? |
I printed out the pic. First thing to do is to draw another circle just inside the brown/blue circle that hits the ends of the diamonds in that circle and the outer ends of the main pattern diamonds. Won't be a true circle, you can see the actual pattern more clearly..
Then roll the pic until you have an even plane across the center. It might even help to cut the outer circle off so the inner 8 star pattern with the other squares are more visible. the easiest way to construct the blue/brown, with white, star is with half square triangles. It's not a carpenter's star ------------but a very close relative. |
