I will have to look at MR's method.

I believe that a lot of the blocks are not as hard as they first seem, as long as you take it slow and give it your full attention.

That said, I have really only accomplished one actual quilt, but several quilted projects. My cousin likes to piece though and she said that rarely if ever do you have to do Y seams, and she's pondering it too. I may get to do this yet.
It's possible the computer just sewed it wrong, but they're usually so good with straight things and so literal, I decided it must have been my fault.
