Since it's been... oh, you know, three years since I last posted in this thread, I thought I would give you an update.
Y seams are not nearly as hard as I thought they would be, so thank you all for the suggestions on tutorials. You can see from my attached picture, that I am FINALLY making progress on this quilt. I'm actually finding that bringing 5 points together to be the most challenging, but I'm dealing with that by hand sewing those points so I don't lose my tips. Can't wait to show you all when the top is done!
