This thread wasn't supposed to be in Pictures, sorry everyone. Here are my steps if anyone wants to see what I did.

I drew an equilateral triangle and used that for my diamond. Sides are 3" PLUS a 1/4" seam allowance added after I drew the diamond. The end pieces of the blue and the green row are the original equilateral triangle, again with the seam allowance added to each side.

Sew the diamonds together, you're just piecing diamonds.

Back view, I ironed all my seams in the same direction.

Then fold the pieced diamonds in half and piece the striped row to the blue row. You now have an inside out tube.

You stitch down the middle of every diamond, stuffing between. This part is awkward to sew, my seams weren't very straight. I wanted my sections really stuffed but it makes it hard for the sewing machine. I actually used my zipper foot so I could get as close to the stuffing as possible. If you really want perfect seams, don't stuff the sections too full.

When your section's are stuffed and sewn, join the two ends together. I stitched them together by hand (to baste it) and then went over it with my machine.
