I sew all six strada strips sets.
.
Here the strip is sewed and I use the 45degree on the ruler to make the first angle cut. Then subsequent strips are cut at three inches (the same width they were cut).

After every three or four strips, check the angle and clean it up ( recut the angel) and then cut the rest of the strips, eight strips from each strada.

After all the strips are cut from the stradas. They are grouped according to the letter they begin with.

Then I take a strip from each set and sew a diamond.

The strips are sewed in twos, then two and two and etc. It is important to pin each seam, as you want it to line up perfectly.

One diamond done.

My regret is that I had to follow the instruction in the book and cut the strips accross the grain and that goes against my grain lol. I had no choice because they bought the fabric so long ago and they bought it according to the instructions in the book. But not to worry, it will turn out ok.
