Great job!
|
That's so neat! Looks just like you have a pile of presents piled up!
|
Cool i keep thinking there are presents under the box amazing i love it i really would love to have the pattern for it:)
|
Omg..they look so 3d that I could pick up the blocks.
Awesome. |
The quilt is going to be great. I wish my hand sewing technique was better, because I would love to get quilty things done when I'm away from my machine.
|
wow, they look like they are real blocks setting there.
|
Wow, that is beautiful!!! I haven't the courage yet to try a tumbling block!!
|
Oh shoot, now I have to add another thing to my "quilting bucket list!" Love your colors.

and i still have 2 blocks to go so i will snap pics along the way for the (Visually Needy :) ) thanks for all the compliments- i started these a long time ago- showed one block to my mom who wanted me to make it into pillows- then my hubby wanted me to put big bows on each one---i hung the blocks around my sewing room and moved on- finally decided to make them into the quilt i wanted to make in the first place- and i will surprise mom & hubby when it's done :) pics-tutorial sometime this weekend |

the 'courage'??? to me it is one of the easier ones to make...try it, you may be surprised!
the pattern is from the magazine; McCall's Quilting March/April 2010. (YUP, a year old) the pattern is called :"Cubism" by Karen Combs- you may be able to find a pattern on her website- or find a copy of the magazine. i will take pics later when i get to sewing today and show a little tutorial on putting them together- but really as long as you take the time to do some prep work they really are easy! the prep work is drawing your 1/4" seam line on each diamond. then you simply pin the match points, stitch on the line; press and voila! the illusion comes from using light/medium/dark-just like any tumbling block. in the magazine there is a pattern template to trace which is 2 1/2" per side- i did not use this- i wanted larger cubes- i made my template out of template plastic -3 1/2" per side.
