Questions about tumbling block pattern
#1
Hi all
I found this youtube tutorial here with this amazing tumbling block pattern that is made with the strip piecing method.
I just wonder whether it does loose the 3-D effekt if it is done that way?
I was trying to do the corner of an attic window with two triangles out of the frame fabrics (sure hope this is understandable) to avoid the y - seam and it did not look good at all so I had to go with the y - seam.
But on a tumbling block pattern there are so many of them!? Does anyone have a pattern of a "regular" made one.
thanks for reading

do you have experience whether the strip piecing ruins the 3 - D effect. It would be so much easier to make.

Well I'll be darned! http://www.quilterscache.com/T/TumblingBlocksBlock.html It is shown paperpieced, but I didn't do that. I just cut accurately, and started sewing.
