No, you don't need any y seams. You assemble the block's diagonal rows with the setting triangles added in with each row, then sew the diagonal rows together. It's the same as with a quilt that's on point.

Maureen, you only added 1/4" for the seam allowances. You need 1/2" (1/4" on each side) so the squares should be cut at 2 5/8".

Dunster....good job. I was working on the block too.
Trisher....Here's a copy of my EQ file. Save a copy on your computer and that way you can see what I did and recolor if you want. When I save an EQ file, it goes to My EQ>>PJ7 Edited to add: I have never had a problem attaching a file, but for some computer reason, today I cannot. If you want a copy of the EQ file, please PM me your email and I will send the EQ file to you as an attachment. |

Thanks Barb!
I was able to finish the block to an (almost) perfect 12.5 inch square! Thanks everybody for all the math, the tutorials and EQ help. Here is my finished block: [ATTACH=CONFIG]579181[/ATTACH] |
If it's a little short of 12.5", it's probably a matter of pressing all the seams completely flat. With so many seams in the block, the little bits of "non-flatness" in each seam add up.

Trish I'm so happy for you!
I'm so challenged that I can't figure anything out but knew someone else would. I love your block!! |
Your block turned out great. A good pressing will probably make it perfect. It is so wonderful to find all the helpful information here on the board - keeps us learning and being successful. Now I want to make those blocks. I love your fabrics.
