I'm so happy you posted it for all of us. I've printed it and will surely use it often. I noted how to make a square in a square, but can you advise us how to make a diamond in a square? I need to make a diamond border and although the square in a square looks almost like a diamond, I don't think it will be accepted as a diamond. Thanks in advance. Belles

I'm working on graphics/instructions for this for you. Check back Wednesday night or Thursday. :D
As a hint, the snowballing shape is like a kite rather than a square. I usually have to play around with it a bit when I need one like this, folding a piece of paper and trimming it.
