Make Layer 13 the active layer by selecting its title bar. Check the Layer visible and Layer editable check boxes. Uncheck the check boxes for layer 15. Ungroup the grid (Ctrl u) and Shift click on the four orange squares (the next squares in diagonally from the red ones). Press Delete and you should have just the four orange squares remaining.
Change the fill and outline colors (50% and 20% black). Clone the left grid square. Using the Blend Tool, and repeating the steps used for Layer 15, create an 11-step blend. Repeat this step for each of the odd numbered layers reducing the number of blend steps by 2 each time (15, 13, 11, 9, etc.) until Layer 1 contains only one square, the center square. Make Layers 15, 14, and 13 visible and editable by checking their check boxes. Make Layer 14 the active layer by selecting Layer 14's title bar. Enable Snap to Objects (right click on the page and select Snap to Objects from the fly out menu). Select the Zoom Tool (the magnifying glass icon) and zoom in close to the bottom corner of the two diamond shapes. Using the Shape Editor Tool, click four line segments to create a vertical diamond shape that connects the right side of the top diamond shape to the inside of the second square from the bottom right as shown in the enlarged blue circle. Click the last control point on top of the first to create a closed shape. (The shape will be filled black when it is closed).
