GO! Flying Triangles Block
 
How do you sew this together? Is this going to involve some "Y" seams?

Thanks for all your help.

If you sew it as pictured yes it will have Y seams. But if you make the blue / light orange round out of hst and squares, (the blue triangle and the lt orange right next to it as hst, then the middle lt orange rectangle as a square, hope that make sense) you could do it w/o Y seams. However they are selling the "Go" so if it cuts the blue triangle as shown it will have Y seams.

You could divide it into 2 HST's and one Flying Geese or you could
divide it into 4 HST's (for each quarter).

Here is the video by AccuQuilt showing how to piece this block.

I went to your original link in your thread where it showed a picture of the block and had a downloadable pattern there. Arn't the instructions on how to make this block in the free downloadable pattern?

If you're afraid of "Y" seams, don't be. I was until I worked on a diamond logcabin pattern. Once the blocks were together it was all "Y" seams putting the blocks together. I marked the "1/4" at each end and matched them up and stitched. Its not that I love "Y" seams but I have a very healthy respect for them now........................also glad that part of the pattern is done too..........:-)

Just a question. When you find a pattern like this one and it is designed to be cut with the accuquilt or other die cutting tools are there also instructions for cutting with a rotary cutter as well or do you have to cut it with the dies?
