"Y" seams are great if you want a less scrappy look but I figured out very quickly that that method was not for me...........LOL
Plan B........ new templates for a more scrappy look...... let's see.
Pick out several fabrics from the old stash and cut using the Plan B templates.
Stack kites and templates in the order you wish to sew.
Notice the sewing method I'm using above which is sewing the one side, pressing it, then sewing the second template and pressing it.
I'm happy with this look!!
Love the scrappiness of this block and my basket of scraps is dwindling..... I think.
I will make a PDF of Template B if anyone is interested..... just leave a comment expressing that or any comments about what you think so far would be very welcomed.
Stay tuned for more later on in the week.

I love the block.
Gorgeous block!! I agree those Y seams drive me insane, love your scrappy look much better.
Quite a complex block. The results are wonderful.
This is great. Please check out the string quilts we're making at a group blog over at http://stringthingalong.blogspot.com. I'd love to have you post this over there. If you're interested, email me and I'll send you an invitation.
LOVE the block! I think I have that kite shaped template in my stash. Gotta go look for it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very nice block and love the scrappy sides all around.
Like the family photos on your right side bar too. :)

Great solution to a tricky problem!! Your blocks are turning out beautifully, I love the finished block - great ruler too, where did you get it?!!
You're probably done with it by now, but love this scrappy quilt in progress.
