Just remember that you will be dealing with bias edges on the diamonds and you must be careful not to stretch those (or you will have ruffled edges).

The tumbling blocks (we have a couple of threads on those already - you may want to look for them) have issues because they are inset seams. Don't forget to mark each seam line 1/4" in and only sew between the dots.
