I used Eeanor Burns book too and have made 2 lone stars. Spray Starch and that good old 1/4 inch seam, a must. When cutting your strips, make sure you double check the 45 degree every couple strips. So easy to get off the mark, I did that and then had strips for plain pillows and almost ran out of fabric. Pin and pin and pin the seams, careful not to stretch even if they are spray starched and that center will turn out great. Most of all have fun!!
This is also how I have done mine, but also used freezer paper to help in keeping the correct shape or from stretching the bias. You iron the freezer paper to the diamond before sewing them together. But after the strips are sewed.
