1. The first thing you need to do is to cut
our printed interfacing into 6 rhombus
shapes. You can cut the as large or as
small as you like but all need to be the
same size.

 

2. Take your permanent marker or pencil
and mark the lines like you see in the
picture above. Do this on both sides. These
will be your sewing and postitioning lines.

3. Cut six rhombus shape centers out
larger than the center marked area of your
interfacing piece. Lay the first center on
the interfacing with right side up. Place it
between the 2 marked lines. This will
 guarantee the seam allowance needed
when the next piece gets added.

 

4. Place your first strip with the right side
down over the center piece like you see in
the picture above. Allign the right side
edges and pin if necessary to hold in place
 Make sure the strip is extending over the
next marked line.
