Piecing the Block

Start a thread in the oblique angle of a diamond, match this diamond with one in the alternate colour, right sides together (Pic 6a)

Whip stitch this seam folding the dog ear out of the way as you get towards the end (Pic 6b) Fasten off thread into seam allowance, being careful to catch neither dog ears nor basting stitches

You should have a pair of diamonds sewn together like this (Pic 6c,d) Make four of these pairs
