Hi everybody! This is so exciting. I can't wait to hear from you. in the coming days. I am looking for a tumbling block pattern. I have heard that this is a very difficult pattern to do is that true? Even if you know of a title of a book that the pattern would be in I would be grateful.
Thank you
Kandy

Hello, yes that can be a challenging quilt to make if you do it the traditional way, but there is a simpler way to make it using an extra seam. Do a "search" at the top of the board for "tumbling blocks". I'm sure you'll find an easy method there. Welcome to the board!

Hello from Northern California. Well - the tumblers can be a little tricky but there is a strip method available. Chech on You Tube - I've seen it demonstrated there.
I did mine for DH the old-fashioned way and used the Y-seam. Not too bad once you understand the process.

I could do one with y seams, I just don't want to. I like the easier way. That is what is so great about everything that is available now. I am doing a double wedding ring and that is enough for me. I PM'd you information. It is also a strip method and I love it.

Welcome to the Board from Sequim WA. Glad to have you here and you will love it.
Here's a youtube link to a block called "Not Your Grandmother's Tumbling Block", which shows how to make it the easy way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWpSETMbws4
I haven't done it yet, though it's on my To Do List.
