Step Seven: Iron them all to the dark side, don't forget to set your seam or the QP might show up!

Step Eight: Square up your blocks. To be honest I skipped this step when I made the black and white quilt
.... but it came out fine and my seams matched up perfectly. For the squares I don't suggest skipping it because of possible shifting. I squared down to 4 in. with mine but that's because I don't like the pinked edges. They could have easily been 4.5 when squared down so the size is up to you

Step Nine: Pick 4 of your favorite squares to begin with.

Now Put them together creating your middle diamond

Step Ten: Next we make our next set of points. Just put the light sides creating a triangle above the dark point.

Now do that on all 4 points

Do you see how our pattern just kind of shows up? Easy Peasy!
Step Eleven: Now we fill in those corners, the easiest trick I know of is to remember we are making straight lines so we match up our dark sides and let it make itself.

Step Twelve: Now we put dark points on top of our light ones, we'll go ahead and do all 4 since it's just a repeat of step ten.
