Tumbling blocks
 

So... I'd like to make a tumbling block quilt. Made a sample the "regular" way. Then I found a youtube video showing Marci Baker making "Not Your Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks". Looks way more do-able.

Here's the problem... went to Amazon and learned I can buy a used book starting at $85!! Are you kidding me???

Do any of you know of another resource to get this book?

i have the abc its got alot of neat patterns no y seams!

the original book is out of print. [sure wish i could find my copy :( ]. but you can still get the pattern in a newer book of hers http://www.amazon.com/ABC-3-D-Tumbli.../dp/0965143961
still a little pricey. i'm sure i didn't pay anywhere near that years ago.

Your local library or interlibrary loan.

hehehe Gale, you just beat me to it

Well... duh on me!
Of course, I'll check my library.

If you go go Kaye woods site she as a tumbling block pattern and it is free to down load ( I only found that out after I had ordered the pattern

Google Marci Baker Tumbling Blocks and you'll get a link to her you-tube video.
She changed the world in the 1990s with this technique!

Another one for the bucket list!

Jan, thanks.. that's how I stumbled across Marci Baker, with the youtube video. I work better with written/printed instructions. That's why I was looking for her book.

Checked with our library today. They don't have it, nor is it available through intralibrary loan.
:(

Hate to pay big bucks for these books.

Kamaiarigby, I'll try the site you recommended.

Again, I appreciate all your help and insight!
