No "Y's" there! As long as you match your center with a pin and sew from the center outward when putting the two halves together your seams should all meet in the center. 1/4 inch seams are very very important for this type of block to come out correctly. Just FYI.

I was so excited about making the quilt I couldn't sleep that night and finally said "to heck with it" and got up at 2:30am and started cutting fabric :) Here's what I've got done so far....... now to start with those blippity bleep "Y" seams :(
Can't wait to see it when it's quilted...She'll love it!
