I finished four of the diamonds and have put them on the board for you to see. They are not sewed together yet.

I have some more tips for you. The strip pic shows the rows labled A to F or whatever you lable your strips.

I take one strip from each pile to make a diamond, I lay those on the table by themselves, paying careful attention on what side I sew together. I sew sets of twos together and then sew those sets of twos together.

I lay two strips together, turn one side down and match the seam, I put a pin through the top seam and catch the bottom seam, I check to see if it did and adjust accordingly. I then sew the seam together. If a seam is off, I rip it and repin and resew. It is important that the diamonds match.
