Tumbling Blocks Quilt Tutorial – No Y-Seams!
Can you make a Tumbling Blocks quilt without Y-Seams? Yes, you most certainly can!
I’ve been wanting to make a Tumbling Blocks quilt for awhile now, but the Y-seams (which I prefer to sew by hand) kept putting me off. So I never took on this quilt project and never tried to make a Tumbling Blocks Quilt.Quilty Box arrived this month and brought me an awesome new cutting ruler. The Sidekick Ruler cuts 60 degree diamonds, triangles, and half triangle shapes.
I played around with the ruler a bit and YAY! We can piece a Tumbling Blocks quilt with NO Y-Seams. Even better, this can be chain pieced which makes the quilt go together in no time.
I sliced and diced and pieced and pressed and created this Tumbling Blocks Sunrise quilt.
Each month I get Quilty Box, a subscription box of fun quilting tools, thread, and fabrics. Rather than stash these new supplies in a drawer, I challenge myself to use up the fabrics in a new quilt.
In just a few days I design a quilt, cut and piece it, and write a free quilt pattern for you to enjoy. It’s a fun challenge and I enjoy pushing myself to work quickly and make a new quilt every month.
