4) begin again, setting your six as a square on top the previous diamond
5) repeat
This way, all you have to do it pick up six at a time to swap them and we don't use crazy amounts of baggies. But if baggies are truly easier, I'm good with that, too.

Sorry Owlie, I will have to wait till next month to join you again. I really don't have any fabrics at home that fit the theme. But, I will keep an eye here for next months. I am cutting some other things I already have on hand.
