The two stripped pieces will be difficult to piece together correctly because of the angles. What I would have to do is take two strips to the ironing board, then use a pin straight down through the seams on both, 1/4" from the edge. This will mean the edges of the strips are offset. I would then use a drop of Elmer's washable school glue in the seam allowance and iron that to "glue baste" the pieces together so that intersection will work out. This technique is not explained in the directions, but I think it's why this pattern is designated "skilled intermediate/advanced". If I can find a good tutorial on this, I will post it.
Edit: This isn't exactly the same, but it does show the offset that is necessary in order to match seams on diamond shapes:
