YukonViv gave you excellent advice, I discovered they weren't as bad as I thought when I relaxed, went very slow and methodical and was very accurate. Marking the seams with a very visible dot where you will stop and pivet really helps, don't raise your needle for anything! and I used the end of my seam ripper to make sure the fabric on the underside was in the right position before I resumed sewing. And after my first one the following seemed somewhat easier, I think it was because I was less tense by getting through the first one. Good luck!

Goes rather quickly once you are used to it.

I just made a grandma's flower garden table runner (we have a contest at our local quilt guild with patriotic fabrics) and it was the first time I have made Y's You know once you got the hang of it, it was really kind of fun. The only hard part of it was putting the backing on, which I had to sew, clip and turn (I call it birthing) and then hand sew the opening shut. Just remember make sure that your edges are correct and don't go past your seam allowance and it will go just fine.
