    Somewhere in the last couple of days I saw a post where the person said Tumbler had "Y" seams. All the tumblers I have seen look like they are laid out in rows.

    Someone explain? Thank you!

    If you peice them on the short side of the tumbler they will have a Y seam. If you peice them long side in rows you will have strips and can just sew the strips together.

    I sew my tumblers in rows, I use my accuquilt studio to cut my tumblers and it trims off the corners so less bulk in the corners.

    I think the OP was talking about the tumbling block quilt pattern that is traditionally English Paper Pieced because of the Y seams.

    The tumbler IMHO is different

    You're right, sorry I thought she was talking about the other tumbler pattern.

    *waving* Hi, jennifer!
    I expect you are right. I hadn't thought of that pattern.
