I did press the seams open. I did the stitching 1/4 on each side of the seams and continued them into the border. Just to get the thing done! Yes I cut two of each fabric and matched them together. although cutting a whole diamond would have done better with print fabrics.I sewed my rows of triangles straight across, if using whole diamonds just sew them at an angle going across. Oh, I will put a plug in for Clover Soft Touch Thread pic. I soaked my quilt and noticed in the orange border that there were two very dark brown threads glaring at me through the orange fabric. I got my Clover picker and went into the fabric and worked around and caught the threads and pulled them out. Job done!!
