Help!!! I've seen a pattern for a baby quilt that uses diamonds and seen a tute on cutting diamonds but what I get are parallelograms. :( I've been practicing on scrap fabric. So I cut the 2 1/2" strip for 2" diamond then I cut on the desired angle, move up 2 1/2" and make another cut for the "diamond." That's according to the tute. Doesn't work for me. I do have a template but do not want to use it - hate cutting with scissors. The pattern is the diamond log cabin pattern that looks like Tumbling Blocks when it's put together. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
