The first run uses the T-Template A1 pieces and the second run uses the A2 pieces. The pictures below were taken during the second run where I stitched the T-Template A2 pieces to the sides but use the same method to stitch the T-Template A1 pieces to the top and bottom of the diamond pieces.
Place all the accent strips to the right of the needle. Place them vertically all in one stack, right sides up and Sew Side on the left.
The picture below shows the top and bottom accent strips pieced and pressed after round one. With the light side of the diamond pointing down...
Flip the accent strip over horizontally so the right side of the fabric is down and Sew Side is on the right.
Line up the raw edges and Smart Corners and stitch it down.. Spin the diamond so the the light side is pointing up and stitch an accent strip to the other side.
CAUTION: Be sure to check the first diamond from each round to make sure the accent strip is pieced correctly before proceeding to stitch the entire stack!
