Personally, I have never had much luck with Blends when there were not matching number of anchors. Here is another method to recreate if anyone is interested. I started with a rectangle. Then Object>Path>Offset. I used 10pt I gave that new rectangle corner radius of 6pt Again Object>Path>Offset. That gave me 6 closed paths. Group. Next, Line tool, create 6 vertical lines, 10pt spacing. Group. Rotate that group angle 45 Put together, Rectangles and rotated Group. Then Object>Live Paint, Strokes. I random color as I work. Expand Live Paint and Ungroup Object>Select same Stroke color and Object>Path>Join. Do for each color Lastly, (White arrow) I select the corner anchor at that miter, and gave it a radius. I used 30,24,18,12 and 6pt. This gives the appearance of a blend. Fun to do. K
