I love it!

just one question...

Did the block construction have Y seams? I'm looking at the picture trying to figure out how you put it together without a Y seam here and there.

just curious.

Love it love it love it.

The one block I am assuming you are referring to you sew the rectangle to the square but only do a partial seam. I then sewed the rest of the rectangles around the block and finally finished the partial seam. Is that considered a Y seam? It was easy to do.

It would be a good guy quilt. I decided to give it to my Mother in law after I got it put together and DH asked, what are you going to do with this I thought it would make a great "Thank You" gift for her. She had wanted to take us on an Alaskan Cruise for years and her health has been declining and 2 years ago DH said "we need to do this soon" so she took the 8 of us, MIL and her DH, DH and I, DH's sister, and a cousin (her DH did not want to go) and DH's brother and wife.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments. I still need to sandwich this quilt and try to figure out how I want to quilt it. I am hoping I will have it ready for the party in September.
