Hello. I'm new to quilting even though I have been sewing for about 25 years. I am trying to make a tumbling block quilt however it does not look right. Any suggestions?

Hi from Sacramento. Pics would help because there is a lot that can go wrong with a tumbling block. Is your angle possibly off? Did you use a inset y-seam properly to sew them together? Do you have the colors aligned consistently?
