It'supposed to be a visual confusion for the viewer to figure out. If there is anything wrong with your points or your piecing I don't see it.

It seems that not only you would have the angled wedge in the center of it but also the strings are at angle. Each side of diamond is identical. I drafted four of the same diamonds and made a mirror pattern for the other four. This allows you to make a version of the quilt from Kentucky Historical Society with eight diamonds. <br /><br />I will also try making the pattern from the 60 degree diamond. I think that would mimic the pattern correctly.<br /><br />If I wasn't teaching at Philly Modern Quilt guild today, this is the quilt I would be starting!<br />I love a design mystery! Thank you for my daily fuel! Sending you the pictures soon!Sujata Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342637667662268215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-31581319628757323002012-02-04T07:01:12.815-06:002012-02-04T07:01:12.815-06:00looks tempting. now is Dot a min dachshund or a ma...looks tempting. now is Dot a min dachshund or a maxi dachshund-for scale.quiltcontemplation blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073675331096590657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-51217786663086456422012-02-04T06:30:26.312-06:002012-02-04T06:30:26.312-06:00Barbara!
