Default has anyone made a Ricky Timms Kool Kaleidascope?? Help!

so I'm working on a Kool Kaleidascope quilt--actually will have one large (48") kaleidscope with parts of two 36" ones and one 20" one--so LOTS of strip sets. Anyway, working on the 48" one and realized when I was putting together the first wedge, that I've got 3 Y-seam joints--dang it! So I'm VERY carefully working on these. But I really want to avoid that on the others and while I have the book, the "pattern" is really directions that explain it but don't give you the actual templates. So would love to hear from anyone that has made one. I'm making it for a contest and have to use specific colors and plan to use black as the background. If I was making for just me I would probably limit the colors in each strip set more, but it is what it is.

(have to confess that this is my 2nd go on the strip sets--my original fabrics, while the right colors were wayyyy to busy, so ordered a bunch of batiks from Fabric Fanatics on sale and redid, so my frustration level with this quilt is already a little high!)
