I am looking for the directions to do a tumbling block quilt using strip piecing. I found a tutorial on Youtube (see link below), but I have tried to follow the instructions and failed. I think there is some important information that is missing. I did just as she shows using 2 1/2 inch strips and the 60 degree angle. Can anyone help?

I did find an older post on here after I made this one. I found a link to some directions, but they don't seem to be just like she did in the video. I am so confused!

Sorry to keep posting but these are the directions I found to go with the video. Does anyone know if this works? I was thinking the strips should all be 2 1/2 inch, but this calls for some to be 3 inch.

I don't know the answer but I am waiting for our more knowledgable ones to answer as this is one quilt I am hoping to get too soon.

The link to the hgtv., and the 3" might possibly be a typo, since the others are all 2 1/2". Other than that I can't really give you any advice since I've never done a tumbling block, but her method does make it sound doable, so I might have to do one in the future. Thanks for your question.

You did read right, they need 2.5" and 3" strips to make this strip pieced.

I do the Wondercut pattern with their ruler. Easy...

I just finished a quilt top using a strip method for the tumbling block. The method is by Marci L. Baker and she has Alicia's Attic. The directions were perfectly clear and easy to do. Try Alicia's website.

wow I just watched this video and it looks sooooo easy!!!
