This isn't exactly the effect the pattern called for but I found
as I turned it around that I kind of liked the the way this looks:

My problem is, I don't have any idea how to proceed from this point
using the same three colors. Tumbling blocks come to mind, but also
maybe more of the same diamond effects? I'm kind of stumped and this
is the _first_ diamond pattern I've ever done so I'm hesitant to get
too complicated of a pattern going.
The block is rather large, @ 19" square once it's sewn together so
I'm afraid it will look silly I repeat it as it's only going to be
a lap size quilt and there'd only be room for no more than 4 of
these on it.

I'm very open to suggestions as to what you would do next with this.

Sew it together as it is in the picture, surround it with more of the
black to make it a square, and just let it speak for itself. I think
it will look sophisticatedly graphic and not silly at all.

If you have enough fabric you might consider using that gold as a
narrow border with another strip of black on the outer edge. Or you
could do two narrow strips of gold with a wider strip of purple in
the center as a border, making sure it has a little black on each side
of the border will make it really pop.
