Has anyone tried Marci Baker's tumbling blocks instructions?

I just bought the book Tumbling Blocks ABC-3D and watched the Utube video. Also order her triangle ruler. Wondering if anyone else has experience they would be willing to share about her method. Thanks in advance for any wisdom.

I saw it done on Simply Quilts years ago and then bought the booklet, the first one, "Not Your Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks" soon after. See if this link is any more helpful for you: http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/tumbl...cks/index.html There are also the older Utube videos.

What is it that you are wanting to know?

Thanks for tips and information. I need to both read and see something to really learn it. Didn't discover about learning styles until I was adult. I will starch the fabric. Am looking forward to receiving her ruler et al. :thumbup:
