Tumbling Block Quilt Blocks…traditional and without y-seams

Learn cutting and piecing to make Tumbler Blocks. I include cutting with a standard ruler or the Creative Grids 60-degree Diamond. There are tips for piecing y-seams. I also include an alternate method with no y-seams!

Great tutorial! You are pleasant to listen to, not drawn out or raspy. Your tips make it look doable. Thank you!

I like that you don’t make y seams seem mysterious or very hard to do accurately. Marking the points is key, at least for me. My Bernina foot has the quarter inch marks beautifully engraved and I use those marks frequently. But for the y seams it just seems to work better for me when I can focus in on the dots.

I use my Purple Thang to make the dots. I have several Thangs—not all purple!—and I use it constantly.

Thank you for the straightforward video. Your voice is calm and clear and I appreciated your tight focus when you were sewing.

Wow! You are good.Tumbling Blocks is a hard quilt. I would have quit if I tried that. I did the Missouri Star method.

How do I get directions to make the tumbling block out of diamonds

[winningnumbers]

Doesn't the 1 color need to be cut in the opposite direction to the other color? Thanks in advance for a reply.

Thank goodness you explained what you were doing at the sewing machine since that food on your machine showed us nothing.
