no Tippy this is a great way to do it and not have the "Y" seams. Just sew the middle cross section separate from the other sides, it will look like 2 triangles with a short side of the cross, then you can sew the 2 side onto the center cross section. no "Y" seams doing it that way.
I will give it a try. Right now I am working on the border first. (A new thing for me). I am piecing it to make chevrons and using up my scrap box at the same time. Since it is a scrap quit--I figured it was time to stretch a little for a different kind of border. :-P
