I'm new at Y seams. I have a quilt with 6 rows, 5 across
I have the first row of the Y seams sewn. The Y seams are in between the blocks, so that when set in they create a diamond in between the 4 blocks sewn together. Does anyone have a tutorial or list of some type of order to sew the next row on to include the lower part of the "diamond" that needs to have Y seams to complete? There are plenty of U-Tube video clips and tutorials on how to sew the three edges of the Y seam with the end result being a square and then you sew the squares together. The end result of this block is the lower half of the diamond sticking out between two blocks. something like this
-V- but half of the V below and the other half set in the upper blocks. I am doing the Cherry Orchard Quilt pattern and doing it this way I don't have to attach 1/2 triangles to the corners of the block and have the 4 seams in the small piece.
