Liz...I used my quilting ruler which is 6" wide...the first border which is black I made 4", then I penciled in another border which is 2" and will stay white, 3rd inner border is 3" and is red..now that the 3 borders are marked in I found a piece of trim and went from corner to corner making a large 'x'..once that was in, I took my 6" wide by 24" long ruler and simple following the 'x' lines, went from side to side, then reversed the 6" which formed the diamonds...very quick process....

Now remember, I'll want to see the creative designs you all make! lol...

Tired tonight, wanted to finish the matt completely but I work better in the am..so all that is remaining is freehand work in the borders and then I'll have to decide if I'll do something where each square meets...

So, I'll add photo's as I finish...bought red/white chair cushions, red geraniums for the table so should look pretty..not fond of the stained glass lamp I made for over the table..tooo geometric, now I'll have to make something very soft in reds/white and black...hmmmm...doesn't one thing lead to another...
