Two of these big triangles should be placed so their skinny end points, the 30 degree angle, meet at the point of one of your outer diamonds. Mirror this on the opposite side of your quilt, and you should end up with a rectangle.
I knew there was a reason I should have been more attentive in geometry class! LOL You quilters really step up to the plate when someone needs help. I love this place.
