I am a newbe here, and would like to find a pattern for tumbling blocks, now I don't know if there are a lot of them, but a basic would be great!
I also am a beginner at quilting,and any help from you all will be great. I have the material, but patterns are limited.

Hello and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Glad you joined us :lol:

Are you looking for English paper piecing or regular piecing ?

There are some "simplified" versions of the Tumbling Block pattern available where the y-seams are avoided.

Maybe someone else can help you find those patterns.

Thanks for the info! I will look into it. Mary

I use the wondercut pattern and ruler to make my tumbling blocks. This way they are all hst and no y seams.

Welcome from Alabama. I haven't tried one yet, but hope to soon.

I had always thought that the tumbling blocks were diamonds cut with 60-120-60-120 degree angles.

How do you adapt the pattern to make it work?

it's not the easiest pattern for a newbie.
what other patterns have you done?
but we have all been there!
I didn't know my first pattern was a hard one either!

It isn't one I made, but it is beautiful.
