[ATTACH=CONFIG]391897[/ATTACH] I am not sure if it uploaded. But if it didn't I am trying to make one section of the four. I have three sewn and when I try to sew the other side of the triangle to finish I get a tuck in the piece that goes to the border right at the intersection of the three. Does that help? Thanks for welcoming me. I really enjoy this group.

Also possibly the triangle piece is a little off in size. I found block on EQ program and rotary cut my pieces according to EQ directions. Do not give up.

The way I put inserts is to match the points as point of your print fabric to the yellow point....sew just to the seam allowance back stitch. Take off machine rearrange and sew from the center seam allowance out to the sent and press the trainable unit flat with seam allowance toward the other two pieces. Hope this make sense

Well I finally did it. I actually have a quarter of the block done. At least I now know how to do a y seam that involves more than 2 pieces. Will have to finish the rest later.

if the photo is accurate, the problem is that you don't have the white triangle lined up correctly.
it looks like you don't have a 1/4" seam allowance left when you get to the intersection of the three pieces.
that's why i recommend you print my templates.
if you line up that template to the pieces you have already cut, you will see how to trim the points so lining things up is easier.
