    I understand making one block but how do you connect the blocks. That is my where I get confused, and I cannot find a layout on the internet

    The assembled blocks are all hexagons, so you can assemble them the same as a hexagon quilt, like this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CQG0V42O0fI

    Her tumbling block is nice but with each diamond having a 9 patch for each side of a block I am worried it may be bulky.. Did you find this to be true. Keep in mind it's my first tumbling block

    I did not find it particularly bulky. It was my first (and only so far) tumbling block. The only time I got confused is putting the rows together - but once I got it, no problem. I tackled this as a new quilter - probably in my first year, so if I can do it .......

    I did Hollow Cubes last year, and hope to do the "Stacking my Blocks" by Kaye Wood this year.
