Tumbling Block



Tumbling Block quilts are one of the most recognizable of all quilt designs, but making one can be intimidating to many.  In this class you will create a tumbling block quilt you will be proud of.  The teacher's technique for a Y seam and setting triangles and a unique process for "not" putting rows together.  

Fabrics:
For a lap size quilt, you will need 3 fabrics ranges - a total of 1 1/2" of each.
I recommend a 1/4 yard of 6 fabrics of each range.  The range will be light, mediums and darks.  This will be total of 4 1/2 yards of fabric.

If you are wanting to just try the technique before you purchase all your fabrics, you can bring a 1/4 yard of 3 fabrics light, medium and dark.

Rotary cutter, 45mm or 60mm size
Rotary mat:  18x24"
