Wow !! I always liked the look of a tumbling blocks quilt I thought it would be easy. Here I am a newbie back in '06 learning how to quilt and picked to do one of these. I was going to a quilt shop out in Elkins Ar. at the time they are a great bunch there (since then they moved to Sprindale)helped me alot on different things. But anyway the fact is I started and got only so far as I moved to Pa. and guess what I tried it again and I just couldn't do it . That is a hard quilt to do. Good Luck. I have a little pattern book about them I'll see if I can find it and let you know.
