If you have a Tri-Rec ruler, it has the correct dimensions. And if not, it's real simple to cut a template using the measurements.
The tri rec is about a 54 degree angle, so unless you have one specifically for cutting a triangle with the base the same as the height, the angle will not be the same. If you go with a 45 degree angle, you're going to get a slimmer diamond shape and loose a lot of the look. If you got 60 degrees, you'll get a square instead of the diamond, and I think the elongated diamond is what makes this so interesting looking.
I looked around at pictures of string quilts, and decided I like this pattern the best. I think it's going to work very well with the string selection I have.
And now that I know the angle, I can sew and then cut out my shapes. Lots of rather mindless sewing, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
