I drafted it in EQ5 and printed the rotary directions to a .pdf file.

Isn't that cheating on the challenge of the 'harder' blocks and not
doing the 'Y' seams ???

get Novembers done !! LOL )

Repeat after me, "There are no Quilt Police." ;-)

I quilt for by own satisfaction so it's just as well there are no quilt
police.

I am well aware of any mistakes I make but use them as a learning
curve, hence keeping the first wallhanging I did a binding on clearly
visible in my sewing room. The rounded corners are a reminder of how
not to do mitred corners.

After some of the photos I have seen in magazines and the bad
workmanship I am not so critical of my own work now.

For anyone who is thinking that a 'Y' seam is difficult - it really
isn't.
If you try going from one end, into the centre, pivot, and then out the
other side, yes perhaps it might not give a satisfactory result, and so
it is seen as: 'difficult'
BUT, if you make a habit of seeing the seam as *two* seams: sew the
first - and I would suggest going from the centre to the outside; then
take the piece out of the machine and re-fold so that the second seam is
convenient for sewing, again sew from the centre to the outside, and
*always* sew only to within a quarter of an inch of the centre end of
both seams (another reason why it is a good idea to start from the
centre!), then these seams are absolutely no more difficult that any
other kind of seam. Truly.

(I'm not in any way criticising anyone who has found a way to avoid
them, if that is what they want to do, just thought it might be timely
to suggest an easy method - since we haven't had 'Y' seams crop up for a
while)

Hang in there - it's hard but they say the Creator never gives us more than
we can handle. Sometimes I wonder tho.

Thank you SNIGS for asking!!!!

I am doing well. The viewing and funeral were so nice. So many friends
and family for this dear lady. Tears and laughs. It was very touching.

Ditto for me Nann. I took one look and said "Naw - I ain't doin' it that
way - uh-uh." I immediately saw the square in the square pop out.

Linda, do you mean the "Oh, Susannah" pieced block? I took one look at
that
set-in seam and immediately figured out how to do it otherwise!
[3-1/2" squares surrounding a square-in-square.]

Nope! Course if you are into piecing masochism - you go girl and enjoy.
