No sew Tumbling Block pattern.
 

Ok, the demo looked super easy. I ran to my sewing room and ironed some jellyroll strips in half. I marked the lines. My sample looked nothing like the demo. :D I ordered the book.

I watched this too...how cool was the little jackets

How cool was that! loved all the items she made. Interesting way of quilting.

Recently I saw Georgia Bonesteel do the weaving on one of her quilt shows- lap quilting episode 1205 Her signature red, white and blue tumbling blocks is the weaving.

very interesting techniques which I wouldn't mind trying but all her "ums" were like fingernails on the chalkboard to this educator~

Really cool - it does look like there will be raw edges on the top of the quilt, but maybe I just misunderstood. Will have to look for this at LQS and investigate further. Thanks for sharing this new technique.

I have been interested in the blocks for a while and I like this technique. I ordered the book even though one of the reviews was bad the rest were positive.

I love this idea. Please keep us up to date on your thoughts about the book and any progress you make with it. Tumbling blocks is on my bucket list but it scares me silly to try it with diamonds and y seams.

Some people are so creative. Thanks for shareing. I am looking foreward to seeing your completed project using this method.

Amazing!:thumbup:

I had to order the book after seeing the demo. I am intrigued.

This is a dream come true for me. I love all those angles but am terrible at lining up angles/corner,etc.

BellaBoo how did yours turn out , by you making a sample is the book worth buying ,i like this idea of quilting patterns

I couldn't keep my strips in place to weave and I couldn't figure out by folding the strips in half, I still had a raw edge. I'll post more when the book arrives. It is suppose to be here tomorrow as it was sent second day shipping.

Her demo she was using raw edge pieces but her finished ones looked to have the edges turned under. Seems like an awful lot of pressing. Easier to sew Y seams.

Might be easier to make fabric tubes and weave them, no raw edges that way. Will check back after you have had a chance to read your book. LOL How much was the book?

I have Amazon Prime so it was $19 including two day shipping.

Just amazing for sure .. Love the shortcuts- Love the jackets as well .. Thanks for sharing !!

Bellaboo: Please keep us posted as inquiring minds want to know how this turned out . .Thank you ...

Thanks for sharing. Post a picture of what you make using this method. I'm also wondering about the raw edges on the top of the quilt

The book isn't all that great, it reminded me of the quilt books from the late 70's and early 80's. I would have never bought it if I hadn't seen the demo. But the weaving instructions are detailed. The strips are folded and pressed to the middle making no raw edges. The strips are pinned and weaved on fusible interfacing. I have a weave for a large size throw pillow started. It's easy to do.

The strips could be pressed using the largest bias tape makers. To me, the biggest draw-back is that it's all doubled fabric, therefore heavier than regular piecing.

BellaBoo i have a questions, how many strips across do you need to make to start and do they need to be at an angle at bottom to get the tumbling block look. i notice that she pins each strips top and bottom to hold during weaving can you just glue top and bottom instead of pining

Odd the book doesn't have any pictures of the bigger block quilts shown on the video. The pattern for the tiny weave that fits the quilt shown is the only pattern. For that she used 13 1 1/4" wide strips (before folding) for the base. The sample weave I'm making I'm pinning the strips to covered board with fusible attached. Then I'll square up the sample and fuse together.

BellaBoo thank you for info on book from what i,ve learned you and other quilters here explain it better then her video thank you all ,i 'll pass on book and learn from here as this post keeps going thanks

Cute pattern & I also think I might need the book to make one for myself!!
:D :D :D :D

What size does that block end up being (finshed)? Yet no where in the book is a chart for making other size blocks? I should check does she have a web site?

I searched and found this: http://www.ramikim.com/Pages/default.aspx

And her blog: http://www.ramikim.blogspot.com/

I couldn't find any information on different sizes of weaving blocks on either of those two links. May hunt some more.

OK search said you use a 4" strip for the larger quilt size, 2 1/2" for med and 1 1/2" for small folded in 1/2. Yet you said the book tell you 1 1/4" strips.

The strip size in the book is for the quilt pattern in the book.
