I went to my local library when I did mine. Not looking for it specifically but the center section was strip pieced. It did still have Y seams but it was okay. Wish I could remember the name of it for you as it was very easy to follow. Mine was a wall hanging size that I did in Christmas fabrics and use as a table topper for my coffee table during the holidays. I'll try to do some searching for the title and let you know if I'm able to find it.
