I cheated, but ..........

I still like how it turned out. I was wanting to learn to machine piece Y seams. Well I saw a picture of a block I really like online studied it for a bit and formulated a plan. Part way through the plan I realized how hard and putzy the diamonds were going to be so I cheated on my Y seams and reverse appliqued them, but the rest is machine pieced and I am happy w/ how it turned out, but still haven't machine Y seamed. Oh well, part way there anyway.

Well done! I would be hesitant to even try that one.

​Cute blocks and well done!

Wow! While I understand the theory of reverse applique, it isn't at all obvious to me how you used it. If you're willing to explain your process, I'd love to learn!

Awesome! They are Beautiful quilts. I especially like the second one. You did a great job!

Good job. Rather than cheating, I'd call that an ingenious solution to a technical problem.
