Nested diamond patches form an inner star, while stepped panels make a separate outer crown. Squares and diamonds offer different ways to repeat a small palette.

How much detail?

Most panels are broad, but the nested diamonds and square inserts add smaller areas between the large patches. About the labels.

Try this palette: Soft garden

Alternate peach-like terracotta and cream across the big patches, then use gold on the diamonds and blue on the small squares.

A small coloring tip

Fill a large patch lightly before coloring its small inset. A pointed pencil helps keep neighboring patch edges clear.

Give all square inserts the same color, then choose a different rule for the diamond inserts.
