Need help putting this block together
#1
I downloaded the pattern and templates but there are no instructions. How on earth do I put this together? Are there Y-seams involved? Please help.

I would strip piece it similar to a log cabin block. Start with the center. Then add a strip of the triangle color and trim into a triangle. Then add 1 of the longer strips and trim flush at the ends. The outside corner triangles go last.

See what I mean? Or am I missing something?

You don't have to do a Y seam, but you will have to do a partial seam.
With the pink triangles, sew each one on half way (does not have to be an 'exact' stopping point.) Do all four pink triangles like this.
Now go back to any triangle. Lift up the edge that is unsewn, lay the rectangle strip down under it along the focus fabric, and sew that rectangle down along the focus fabric and along the edge of your triangle. Then you will just have to finish the triangle seams where you stopped.

I checked out that PDF and there are NO directions for this block...so I left them a comment about it..maybe they will send the directions...
either way, this is not an easy block...if you have never done partial seams, they are much like a Y seam and tricky!
