more 10 minute block tips

I am currently working on the quilt and have tips to add. I made a small drawing to help with the seams. The center seam in the middle of the block needs to be cut out to make it lay flat and quilt into the diamond shape. I also have arrows for pressing the seams. If all block seams are press in a clockwise OR all block seams are pressed counterclockwise, they will nest together when you make the rows and sew the rows together. I put in red lines to accent the seam stitching. I would not cut it out bigger than the small area. It may make it seem like a sunken or empty space. The clipped out piece is only about 1/2" x 1/4" . It is just enough to remove the thick piece.
