Adding the Square

Start a thread in the corner of one of your squares, line this up against your diamond unit, right sides together as shown (Pic 7a) Start whip stitching at the ceter of the diamond and work towards the outside edge, fasten off thread

Restart thread at center of unit. Open out work (Pic 7b) and fold diamond over sguare, linning up the next seam to be sewn (Pic 7c) Whip stitch this seam, folding dog ears out of the way as needed.

Add a square in the same manner to the rest of the paired diamonds. You should now have four quarter star units that look like this (Pic 7d,e)
