I am looking for an old pattern called, It's Not Your Grandmothers Tumbling Blocks. There is a video on YouTube that shows the strip piecing and cutting methods but the details are not quite exact enough for me to follow. Anyone have a copy they would be willing to part with?? My LQS is looking for it too but it has been almost a month with no luck on the secondary market.

Thanks for any help!

This is one of my favorites. VERY easy, and without those set in angles.

Thanks, but the pattern I am looking for is even easier. Here is the link:

If you go back to the YouTube video and read the comment section below, it sounds like they are getting ready to re-release this pattern this fall.....I can't wait as this has been a pattern I've wanted to do for years but NOT with all those set in triangles!! I can strip ( piece ) with the best of em :lol: :lol:

I believe Marci Baker's book is out of print, but here's the instructions from her HGTV guest appearance http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/tumbl...cks/index.html and a link to her website. http://aliciasattic.com/

Wow that was a great tut. I then watched one on cathedral windows.
I may have to add that one to my to-do list. Thanks and I'll be looking for her book this fall.
Thanks, D
