The Lilies are Blooming - A Challenging Block

 This week's Civil War block, Carolina Lily was not too easy at all.  It involved the dreaded Y- seam. Three of them.  I found great directions at CT Publishing and got to work.  It took several attempts to get them right, and it is almost perfect.
Mark seams 

The trick was beginning and ending exactly 1/4" in from edge
and backstitching to secure

I added a bit of gold to my flower

the last seam

Viola! I mean Carolina Lily
