Angled cutting and Y seams  :scream:

Techniques I know I should try but have been very successful in avoiding.

Just love a Y seam, lots of practice on the Jen Kingwell quilt. I always add extra seam allowance on the outside edges... makes squaring up easier.

So @Efemera  ... for a 'cut 3 1/2" square' in the destructions .. you would cut a 3/3/4" or 4" square ?????

I wish to point out that my block was made out of whatever was to hand that I was prepared to sacrifice and flung together while I worked out the instructions. I expect all your efforts to be vastly superior in construction and colour scheme. ;)

I suggest you use a fine pencil to mark the points - the pen I used was a bit fat. If you are using very dark fabric for the squares and the point mark doesn't show up, carefully draw the ¼-inch seam allowance all round the lightest diamond - remember it has 2 bias edges - and mark the points on that instead.

@Iminei I’d only add on extra on one edge or two if was a corner piece ( the outside edges)

Got it ... thx  xxx

Very clever @Lowena . Nice work around to avoid the y seam. I like it. :thumbsup:

@Deafoldbat thank you for the tutorial. I actually liked what you "threw together". Now I understand how that block is done. More fiddly & technical than what I usually do.

@Iminei I'm trying to come up with a block to share but my main favorites aren't good candidates. I've mostly only repeated things that are strip pieced, being primarily a disappearing 9 patch and another one called just can't cut it. But I have my little pea brain working on it.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

And I thought we didn't have quilt police! I don't know what you mean with the above quote @Iminei if you don't want my participation just say so. I do the best I can with what I have, I can't promise more
