For those who want to do it. Make a strada of the dark and light prints. I made a template of paper just for direction of the 60 degree cut, as the diamonds are mirror image. My stradas are 6 inches high or a little more.

Check your strada and cut the strip of strada at 6 inches. Line up the ruler with the straight edge of your strada and do a 60 d cut for the first side, turn the strada and 6 inches from the first cut, and do next 60 d cut for your diamond.

Now when it comes time to cut the second diamond, which is a mirror image, this is when I put my template on the strada to make sure it is heading in the right direction, move the template and do the cut.

Note: when cutting your first diamond, go ahead and cut those diamonds all the same position to save a chunk of strada. Then make another strada and cut those other diamonds in the opposite direction.
