So ... how about some hints for me on that dastardly A Beauty! Did you take note that I left it for block #2 (or perhaps #42?) and went the easy route for my starter block!!
I used templates and just sewed to the dots. The "y" seams were much easier than I expected...I had not done any in quilting although in garment sewing...several of the seams have to be pressed open but it all lays pretty flat. Be brave and just do it!
