I just took a look at the picture of the pattern.

Are your red squares the equivalent of the little white squares in the corners of the blocks, or the center of the block? I'm assuming that it is the white squares.

So basically, you've got a whole row with the reds pieces only half sewn in, right? Just want to make sure I'm understanding this. And you want to join this row to the next row, where it should slide into to a V notch?

You might want to post a picture of more of the quilt top so people can see exactly what you're talking about as it's really not a Y-seam technique problem.
You'll certainly be a pro at Y-seams when it's done. :-)

That is some pretty funky piecing, but easy enough to do.

If it were me, I would be doing Y-seams at the top, side and bottom of the red squares in this row of blocks as you join it to the next row of blocks.

You'll have to unstitch a few stitches at the top and bottom of each red square as you've probably(?) already sewed to to the edge when you were making the blocks

Basically, all 4 corners of the red squares are done as Y-seams


So the whole purpose is to NOT have seams in the center squares or the corner squares. I guess it depends on the fabric, but I can see howy that would create a "how she'd do it" look ..Interesting. Actually, it gives me some ideas for something I'm working on. Thanks. I LOVE doing Y-seams!

How exactly, ooc, did the directions say to do it?
