Your Plan B was an excellent decision because these are great.

It's how it looks in the end that counts! Beautiful!

I love looking at your work. Nicely done.

Whatever works..........is my motto. Great job on doing what is easier for you.

wow. good work. I:'ve got to try that pattern.

Nice solution to a problem that was giving you trouble. Being able to see through a problem is a valuable asset. I do like your quilts very much.

you didn't cheat - you were just more efficient with your time!

Those are gorgeous blocks! I'm not a fan of y-seams either. I avoid them if I can.

Looks good. And, done. The Y-seams will be there another day.

Great blocks. You should remember the first rule of quilting and that's: "There are no rules". I know as I have broken a lot of the rules before I decided not to follow any rules. LOL.
