I start sewing I just keep adding the blockes but the placement is like this..

The sides of the quilt will look like this after you have done several rows...

For the side you have to save some blocks... The medium with half of a diamond of the light will go on the right side of the quilt and a dark with half of a light diamond will go on the left.. It fills in the sides to give you a staight area for quilting or to strip piece along the side to make the quilt larger..

All the blocks I am showing are not incorporated into the quilt yet..

I will get a couple pics of the quilt that I am working on so you can see the back of it.. Your blocks will be 8.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches from tip to tip in height..

Whatever you do-please ask questions :lol: I have shown peeple how I make them but I have never tried to show someone over the internet... So I could have missed saying something I should have..

Dear Diamonds,

I'm sorry, but I missed where to get the template for the diamond.

I use a 60 degree diamond.. They can be found at Joannes and most fabric shops that sell quilting supplies... They can also be purchased on ebay...

Here is one like mine...
