I was careful to ck the center before sewing though to be sure all matched together well.

Thank you for that wonderful tutorial! Adding the pictures certainly made the directions clearer - I think I might be brave and try this. Another project to add to my list :-)

Thank you for doing the tutorial. I too am a visual learner and seeing the pictures makes the project so much more doable.

I sewed from one end to the next of the two diamonds right sides together. Please explain. I don't want to cause bulk in the center.

Also, my ends of each diamond are extending out by 1/4". Is this ok or should I trim off little nubs and "square up"?

Appreciate any insight.
