I didn't go into it thinking it was a scary thing, I was shown early on by my quilt instructor when learning a lonestar and as she didn't make a big deal out of it, I didn't stress and it came out perfectly.
So just relax, take your time and do it. Have fun!
My very first quilt was a grandmothers flower garden with one inch hexies, and a gazillion y seams. Just take the first one real slow so it comes out right, then repeat for all of the others. Remember to breathe, and mark the dot on every corner. You will do fine, but the you tube videos on y seams would be a great idea.
