My mind works mathmatically------I don't even have to think about it. Let me try again.

Lay out about 9 blocks in the order you want------------3 rows of three---on a piece of paper or a table cloth. Now turn the paper a quarter turn to the top or to the bottom.

NOW YOU ARE ON POINT.

Decide which POINT will be your top and which will be your side. Follow the path of each of WHAT WAS YOUR SIDEWAYS ROW to add more blocks.

You'll stitch blocks together as always------in a long row----------but you'll lay them on the 45 degree line I told you to make first.

I apologize! I KNOW I have trouble telling people how to do this-----because I don't even have to think about it. My head KNOWS how to do it.
