How to make your DIAMONDS:

NEED: 8 Diamonds = Four diamonds for each flower
(Any color fabrics you want your flowers to be)
 Cut a strip for your flower petals 1.5"  wide by about 10"long.

Mark off dots every 2". These are your guides for cutting your 45 degree angle cuts.

 Starting at your first dot, make a 45 degree angle to start.

 Cut another 45 degree angle every two inches until you have  8 diamonds.

 

MADE FABRIC for LILIES:
Cut 2 - 3" squares of made fabric.
Cut 2 - 3" squares of made fabric and cut in half diagonally.  = 4 HST's ( half square triangles)
Cut one GREEN 3" square, cut in half diagonally. use each half for each flower.

Then watch video here:  How to on Y-seams and construction at bottom of tutorial page.
(Have a good laugh at my expense! You get some NYC Fire engines as a bonus sound!)

and lastly trim your lily blocks to  4".
