Acknowledgement to Oscar A Nawa, whose helpful suggestions for making my original puzzle more challenging have been incorporated.
My solution agrees with the one previously posted by Joe. (I notice that Thomas' posted solution is different however.)
This puzzle was SO tricky... until I went back and read the instructions again. I hadn't remembered that the diamonds weren't allowed to touch orthogonally. Note to self: It always helps to read the instructions!
Thanks for the puzzle Josie.
