So....mirror imaged lines forms the center diamond. And just repeat the border around the center diamond. I get it!!!

Plan to prep/sew my squares sewen on the diagonal and sew my nine patches to incl correct placement of the diagonal squares. Wont have to cut on the diagobal just place them according to the sketch.
All my squares will be 4.5 inches.

Here is my draft sketch. Figure w each square at 4.5 inches this sketch will make a 72" x 72" square quilt.
qty (36 ) nine patch, 12 inch blocks
108 [/] 2 pc squares 4.5" each
216 [ ] plain squares 4.5" each
I plan to start with four nine patch blocks in the center and build from there.
Again, congratulations on your beautiful quilt.
