Make a 3D Tumbling Blocks Quilt with Rob!

[@marshawallace7522]

Thank you, Rob for making the 3D blocks look easy and without Y seams. Y seams aren't especially hard but if you don't have to do them, the process of making a quilt is faster. I also like that you showed how to incorporate the left over sections in the borders. Adding this quilt to my 'To Do' list.

[@christinebayless1092]

I’ve been afraid of this pattern, but you make it look so easy! I love the results and it’s not scary anymore!!

[@raquelwright7451]

I have been watching quilting videos on KZbin for quiet sometime now and I ran on to your videos. First I have never ever seen a man sewing quilts and I applaud you doing it. I really like the way you teach cuz you made it fun! not boring and your instructions are simple and easy, so thank you so much for sharing your videos

[@Digame1097]

Love this quilt. My very first quilt was a trip around the world. I have learned a lot since then.

[@mattieott797]

Love your sewing . You said that you used to be in construction work , lol , you still are in construction work , but this quilting is lots more fun . I'm learning a lot from you , and I thank you very much . You have proven that you can teach an old dog new tricks . I have been quilting longer than you have been alive .I'm still going strong and learning new things everyday . Again , thanks for your great tutorials.

[@maggieculbert5592]

i fell in love with the way people could do the three dimensional blocks ... the more controversy to a block the better i think for the quilt as a whole... it gives me a way to challenge myself ... it has become my therapy method of rejoicing with life.. so i want to thank you for your videos.. and now another way of making the 3 dimensional cube..

[@amandaremon9246]

You're a great teacher! As explaining, you know immediately if something will be difficult to understand and you try to show in a different way. Very much appreciated! Will try this pattern next!!

[@chickad5820]

You blow me away because this teaching of the 3d block pattern is now doable in my brain. Now you've made it simple so then it becomes fun. This looks very fun and on my to do list closer to the top of the list, like to 5 now. Thank you Rob, you Rock!!!

[@mamabearto21]

Thank you so much for captioning your videos. It makes it possible for hearing impaired quilters like myself to benefit from your knowledge.

[@leben54]

I must admit that this is a great way to make this tumbling block quilt. I watched another video many years ago, and that was so difficult. But that pattern has been living in my mind ever since. So thank you ever so much!

[@frances7885]

This, is a fancier version of the first quilt idea that I fell in love with. The first was the simple tumbling blocks, but when I saw your block in a block tumblers I knew I have to make this quilt. I am a beginner, I started with a new sewing machine because I had to give up my first love of knitting due to arthritis. Well, this will be my second quilt ever. I started with the Three Dudes quilt you and Jenny did together. Thank you for your easy to follow directions. I have found a new passion. = ). Thank you for all the videos.

[@tummymummy0867]

I come from a family that loves starting quilts but never finishing them,having finally quilted my mothers genuine 1970's hexie quilt (all paper pieced) I found the start of a tumbling blocks quilt that I had started with her leftovers. I must have been about 7 or 8. Still love love love this pattern and you have finally decades later given me the courage to try a machine version. Thanks for a beautiful inspiration.

[@jimsqueenie]

Love, love, love this quilt. But, then, I love all your quilts and videos. You make quilting a lot of fun, Rob. Thank you!!

[@kaybaertlein541]

I have watched a lot of the tumbling block tutorials trying to learn and you are the first one to clearly show the layout of the blocks. I loved the way you clearly showed the color matching idea to remember how to put the pieces together. Well done.

[@marybretired]

Japanese Jigsaw! Very early in my quilting life I saw it and fell in love. Bought the pattern & the template but it was years before I was willing to tackle it.

[@patriciatankersley625]

I love the tumbling blocks quilt! Thanks for sharing!

[@nana-hv7sr]

I have always loved tumbling block quilts but never made one . . . . you have a gift for explaining how it all works and comes together in a quilt. thank you!

[@liddybeth2]

I really like how you explain about the colors touching. It made it so easy to understand how those triangles should go together.Thank you. I have looked at many such videos and yoou are the only person who put it that way.

[@rodagrey2477]

Rob, Thank you for your tutotrial on tumbling quilt block. I tried it and it worked! Your instructions are very helpful. So thank you for your wonderful tutotrial on sewing.

[@carolcurneal8010]

My first try at quilting was a tumbling block with the dreaded Y seam construction. I failed totally. I stopped and decided to start watching tutorials on how to quilt and have been quilting for 15 years but, never tried the tumbling block pattern until now. I am bound and determined to try and this time succeed . Thank you for your tutorial. It is a beautiful quilt.

[@carriehoman1504]

The first quilt pattern I fell in love in love with was the cathedral window. I was terrified of it until I found an easy pattern and tutorial that used denim, of all things! I recently completed my first "faux" cathedral window project, and will definitely be doing more. Thanks, Rob, for your wonderful videos.

[@michellekerns1901]

My first hard quilt project was the egg money quilt. I found out it was not so bad, I just tried. The quilt came out great. You just need to try. Rob thank you for all the great work you do.

[@sharonlyman3029]

I want to thank you for your wonderful tutorials. I love the colorful-ness of your quilts, but would never try them without you explaining how to organize/sort the colors and values. I can you have a bit of engineering in your genes, like John Flynn. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@noreenreasor2517]

Love all your designs. Look complicated but you explain them so easily.

[@jeannegennaro4482]

I love anything 3-D or optical illusion! AND!! Great GREAT tip on how to know WHAT goes WHERE!! Colors touching... something I can understand! Thank you!!

[@madelinesmemaw]

The quilt that I love and have never tried yet is ships at sea. I really like this quilt that you showed us.

[@normaking1485]

great instructions, this was a block that I was afraid to try but after watching your tutorial, I'm going to jump right in, thanks.

[@SewGurl58]

Rob at the 12:00 min point when you explain the block layout, that was the most simplified thought process I’ve ever seen of this block. Good job! Rob rather than trying to “cheat that 1/4 inch” pin match those seams by pinning and matching exactly where your stitching line will be. Can’t say there’s a pattern I’ve been “afraid” to try, that’s not my personality. I’m more of a jump in the pond feet first, worry about alligators later.

[@michelejohnson38]

This is the quilt my grandson wants!!! Thanks for showing how easy this can be!! I'm going to do now!!

[@gaillampert9591]

The first quilt I fell in love with but was afraid to try, is the Bargello. I have done quite a few simple bargello quilts since but still have not attempted some of the more complex ones. I love your tumbling block quilt. It's gorgeous!!!

[@pajama_weather]

I personally love that you talk a lot about the construction of your quilts and the "how" of things. I prefer to understand rather than just do as someone else does and then hope I end up with a similar result. If I have an understanding I'm more likely to be able to fix a mistake rather than tossing a project because I can't figure out where I went wrong. I'm very new to quilting. I made a very basic baby quilt with squares. That was my "practice" before jumping in with an Aztec Diamond quilt. That's how most of my hobbies start though. I just see a project I want to do for someone and that's where I go. lol I'm currently wanting to do some bargello quilting or a convergence quilt but they look far more complicated. I'm thinking I might practice with placemat versions. Maybe a video idea for you 😉

[@beverlyconstantine7294]

The quilt I wanted to do the most was a traditional tumbling block. I started it with EPP and got about 1/4 of it done and then said nope. Got to figure out how to do it on my machine. So I tackled the dreaded y-seam. Turned out great and have made more than one. Love your 3D block. Has moved to my very long to do list. Thanks.

[@beverlydavis2820]

This is pattern I loved and didn’t think I could do. I was wrong. I was looking for how to complete the sides and you made very clear for me. Thanks, love your videos.

[@ellenlanda1818]

Dear Rob, thank you for sharing another fantastic quilt and tutorial. Grateful on the color build explanation. I just love how you radiate pure energy! Best regards from a Dutch quiltster

[@jacquelinewatson8383]

Light bulb!!! Thank you! You just made angles on the border crystal clear for me.

[@janetborchers432]

The quilt I fell in love with but was afraid to try was the Card Trick quilt. Going to try Jenny’s method and this beautiful quilt of yours too! Love your videos!

[@reginafultz7189]

I love the double wedding ring but I ha e never been brave enough to try it. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see you in Ky next year....

[@Cre0leD1va]

My first quilt I absolutely fell in love, but was terrified to try was Labyrinth Walk. But my curiosity and adventurous nature won out. I tried it, and it came magnificently!

[@lyndasnart7823]

I can see myself watching and rewatching this video as I try to follow these instructions and no y seams you defiantly make it look doable;)

[@jeanisrael2732]

Excellent tutorial Rob. Thank you for making this block easier. This is the block I've always been fascinated by and wanted to make, but I didn't want to mess with those "Y" seams. As in math and anything there's more than one way to get to the end result. I love the bright colors you use.

[@ladyt1277]

What a fabulous quilt! Thanks for all of your tips on "how to avoid the oopsies". The quilt pattern I am most intimidated by is the Lonestar.

[@debbiefromqueenslandinaust3261]

LOve this pattern...My all time favourite is the log cabin but I did try the wedding ring pattern and found that quite challenging with the curved seams.... Now that I have been quilting for a while I might give that one another go.. Look forward to your tutorials each week..Thank you!!

[@shellyboyle3185]

Omg!!! This quilt is so pretty! I love the colors!!! The pattern is so much fun!!!!

[@joannmccraw7235]

I love the way you explain why and how each step works together to make the whole quilt fit and give the look you are going for. My very first quilt was a California King (2" squares) Around the World Quilt. I put it in the local fair and got an "honorable mention". :)

[@susangardem1354]

Love this tutorial and will put it on my "to do list". My first patchwork quilt that I fell in love with was the double wedding ring about 30 years ago and I have yet to make it. Have made lots of quilts but not it. Would love for you to work out a simple construction just as you have done with the tumbling blocks. Thanks again for your humour sprinkled throughout the tut

[@cindyhenderson5655]

I love this pattern... love your side points... been wanting to make a 3D block quilt for years... working this pattern around a panel with a Mario theam for our Grandson.... love the strip construction.... time to make a quilt size vertical lay-out board... thinking 4'x8' foam with flannel spray glued on.... hope it works.

[@theresaconner185]

I really like the use of the grey to set up the 3-D look. Great idea.

[@lilabeeck2516]

As a retired math teacher, this quilt has always fascinated me. Without y seams, I would like to try it. Love those flat cubes.

[@jonikellam2516]

Love this project. Will be one of the quilts I work on at retreat this November.

[@empressnoel1661]

Great video! My first love affair with a quilt was the Sunbonnet Sue made by my great grandmother and given to me as a child. It needed some repairs so I went into my first quilt shop. Thetecwas a gorgeous tumbling block quilt hanging on the wall.....hooked! However the y seams were way above my skill level. I watched Jenny's video and about 3 minutes in ordered the ruler and pattern . Now you've just opened up the next level for my addiction 😉 Thanks so much for sharing your process, I'm looking forward to making a 3D version.

[@pamelacasey1699]

Flying geese was the first block I was afraid to try. Love the dimension on this quilt!

[@loiswillingham7395]

made a couple of runners using this way and a king long quilt . Love the ease of going together.

[@judypurcell954]

Love this, Rob, you made it seem so easy. I have wanted to make one for a while now, maybe I can actually do it!

[@26debsterdots]

Loved the tutorial today Rob ! Thank you. One of the patterns that I love but haven’t done yet ... it is a bit intimidating to me are quilts like the New York’s Beauty and Mariner’s Compass. Thanks again and have an amazin day

[@warialdasue]

Awesome quilt ! Love that boy !

[@maryannecadd796]

Love this! - really want to try this. Rob is an easy and fun instructor!

[@djs4786]

Like your new "Man Sewing" T. Really love the quilt too.

[@denisemcintosh7568]

I eant to do a bargelo....all those seams...lol. i shared this video to my cousin she has already done a tumbling block quilt. Im sure she will love this design. Thank you for everything you do!!!!

[@dianawillforth5635]

LOVE THIS! ❤ thank you for showing a simpler way to make the cube. The Cathedral Window was my fearful block till I seen Jenny's (Missouri Star Quilt)easy way to do it. Again, thank you so much.

[@lynnhargett3525]

I made the cathedral window with Jenny's instructions. Turned out to be my favorite

[@renealee]

Love this quilt! Great job, Rob!!!!

[@cassiehoward8233]

You do such a great job at showing us all how to maneuver these hard corners etc. My hardest block was Lonestar

[@colleenmcphee2289]

Love the instructions that Rob gives. Double Wedding Ring was the quilt I just loved, but afraid to try.

[@melanierenze3281]

I hope he makes a double wedding ring quilt video. That is one of my biggest fear quilts.

[@vanessacoombs91]

My first attempt at patchwork was a Dresden plate. After I had finished, thankfully it was only a lap quilt, I swore I would never do another one. None of my centres were as neat as I wanted and some of the had peculiar humps in the middle. That was several years ago and I have recently completed a second quilt using the same pattern and it came out beautifully. I believe that this had a lot to do with practice but it was mostly learning better techniques from Rob and Jenny.

[@terrypalardy7704]

a quilter once told me, when your centers are not perfectly matched, put a button or applique on top~ no one will be the wiser!

[@tamianderson5403]

Drunkards path! It’s why I learned to quilt and took me almost 20 years to actually make. Now I love it and have made a few variations. Just do it!

[@kimberlywalders6063]

Love these ideas and the colors are great. Awesome tutorial. Well done. Thank You so much.

[@Coldfusion1205]

Love this quilt pattern. Thank you for making it sew easy.

[@jylromain6439]

The first pattern I fell in love with was Log Cabin. But being pattern dyslexic (why do I quilt?), I was overwhelmed by it. I finally bought precuts from Jordan Fabrics and that quilt has now been entered in the Arizona Quilter's Guild show for Feb 2020. But I also love tumbling blocks. It's on my bucket list. Thank you. Hoping it will be as easy for me as you made it look.

[@cindyhenderson5655]

Super cool pattern and technique.

[@MarySchultzRN_BSN]

Beautiful project. Great teaching! Can't wait to try it.

[@davidfeick6125]

I always wanted to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt but found it very intimidating. As I’ve learned better quilting skills over the years, it doesn’t seem so scary but I still haven’t made one yet. Someday.....maybe....... Thanks Rob for another well explained tutorial of another quilt on my bucket list!

[@kathleenhurley176]

My first quilt was tumbling blocks...all by hand, back in the days of scissors and cardboard templates. Your's is SO MUCH BETTER! It's a nicer block also

[@kellyebrown8098]

Love the quilt! This is the first one that I'm afraid to try, though.

[@marianrobinson4082]

My first quilt was grandmothers fan. I hand sewed, and quilted it. This was many years ago, and took me probably a year to complete.

[@kayetufton339]

This is the first time i have watched you, wow, i love this lesson, i have always wante to do a block like this and never could figure it out, NOW I KNOW, THANKS, Kaye from Montana

[@katherinemckenna9405]

Love everything about this quilt! I rarely use 'patterns' as I seem to prefer to make each quilt as difficult as I possibly can! But this one I may have to do, as is!

The quilt I fell in love with that I was afraid to try was the Giant Dahlia. All those curves! I did it, though!

[@roxwyfe]

I love the way you teach!! BTW, that "fuzz" on jelly rolls is actually dust from the quilting fairy The way you explained how to put the pieces together makes absolutely perfect sense. Thanks for all you do for us.

[@luisejones6610]

HI Rob. The first quilt design I fell in love with was a Marinas Compas Quilt that uses rectangle pieces to create all the points. I saw it on a Kaye Wood quilt tutorial, I think her friend was Cheril Philips. I am STILL after a decade wanting to make one but have yet to do so. Luise Jones UK
