    Here are the sites given to me with the strip method and they are good:

    I agree with mic-pa that I would do the set-in style as I don't like the idea of a seam on the "top" of the blocks...but that's just me! I'd try a small block of it first.

    I love the pattern, but I have never done these y seams or set seams, those seam to be bad words, so I am now quit afraid to try this any time soon. :?

    I am making a seven sisters quilt...which is the same as a tumbling blocks..it is the colors that make it all stars..I am using Marci Bakers booklet..Not your grandmothers tumbling block. It is easy to match up the seams...but you do have to be organized as there are 6 different combinations of two color blocks to piece together. I have about 7 blocks to complete then I can sew them together.
