Hi all
I found this youtube tutorial here with this amazing tumbling block pattern that is made with the strip piecing method. I just wonder whether it does loose the 3-D effekt if it is done that way? I was trying to do the corner of an attic window with two triangles out of the frame fabrics (sure hope this is understandable) to avoid the y - seam and it did not look good at all so I had to go with the y - seam. But on a tumbling block pattern there are so many of them!? Does anyone have a pattern of a "regular" made one. thanks for reading Granny_59 |
Here is a paper pieced pattern:

thanks so much for the links
do you have experience whether the strip piecing ruins the 3 - D effect. It would be so much easier to make. |
I've not done it that way myself granny, but as long as you have the 3 "shades" and they are positioned correctly the "how" should not matter.

I've done the cubes in One Block Wonders which are constructed in strips, and they have a great 3-D effect.

Oh thanks so much, the quilterscache one is PP, isnt it? And it really looks great.

Well I'll be darned! http://www.quilterscache.com/T/TumblingBlocksBlock.html It is shown paperpieced, but I didn't do that. I just cut accurately, and started sewing.
