I've done two blocks using the pping foundation method, but the third one uses templates and seems to have a lot of "y" seams. I don't have any idea how to do it. There isn't a foundation pattern to use. It is the "A Beauty" pattern. Anyone tried it?

Wendy when I opened the Pony club book and saw that first block I said "no way"--I hate, hate Y-seams. I did my whole FWS quilt with templates and loved it. I tried A Beauty just for practice with scrap fabrics. Ha!! After my third attempt, 4 of the Y seams were fine but all the rest were poofy and lumpy. I figure since we're not starting til January I can practice some more. I don't think there's a way to pp this block; if someone figures out a way, I hope they share it or my very 1st block is going to maybe be my last LOL.
The FWS group has a lot of talented quilters in it so I'm hoping someone will come up with suggestions. That was what was so great doing ths quilt along--everyone shared tips, knowledge, and especially encouragement. Can you tell I miss them?

I found that when you put that many blocks together a few little missed points is no big deal. I learnt to enjoy the journey and have fun with it. The FWS group was so much fun to "sew with" and each week there was always someone to encourage you.
I hope you all join us at the Pony Club BOW it will be so much fun

JeanieG and all you others whose replies/posts are in different fonts and/or colors: How do you do that??! The gray whatever-it-is font is so blah! Thanks for your help! (I know the trick is somewhere I have yet to explore )
