As Dunster pointed out "There seems to be a confusion between
tumbler and
tumbling blocks." I had forgotten about tumbling blocks until ckcowl posted hers.

I did a drawing in Paint. Hopefully, your pieces are more consistent then what I was able to do. If you sewed the pairs (indicated by black lines) together on the side indicated by the red arrows, you should have a parallelogram (indicated by the blue line). Then you should be able to sew them together as indicated by the green arrows.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a
file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at

Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
