Separate the pieces of the block on the diagonal. The center long piece is made easily with no Y seams. Then tackle the side pieces, which also can be made with no diagonals. Then you just sew the three pieces together. The breakdown in post 11 shows how the small pieces are put together.
Trying to make it into a 12 inch block is another story.
