Great tips and diagrams. I looked in all my quilt books and couldn’t find directions on the y-seams. Now I have to pull out some stitching and start again, but at least I will know how to do it. Thanks!!

This was very helpful. My Y-seams always looked like garbage. I’ll have to remember that all three pieces should meet at the edge of the seam allowance.

To place the dots at the corners for Y-seam construction, mark the 1/4″ seam lines on all sides of all pieces to be joined. The dot is placed at the intersection of adjacent seam lines. Align the dots on the pieces to be joined and stitch as directed.

My question is, how do you decide where to place your dots? I think this might be part of my. Are you measuring 1/4″ in from the tip and then centering it? I’m dying to master this!

I loved your tip. In my last quilt I rotated the fabric on all the y-seams. This looks a lot easier and cleaner.
