Wonderful video! You give perfect directions. I can’t wait to see what other videos you have. 🩵

Thanks!

Beautiful!

Your method of doing this with rulers is SO much more concise than someone else who did a video with a complex "formula" for cutting the square and side triangles. Wow - so much easier using your method! Thank you!!!

So what happens when we sew 2 columns side by side. Won’t we lose the corners of the geese? I don’t see a margin even for a 1/4”seam

Thank goodness you explained what you were doing at the sewing machine since that food on your machine showed us nothing.

Tumbling block pattern

I love my CT 45 Degree DD ruler. No ruler gives better line of sight for aligning your ruler to make perfect strips. For Diamond Rectangles, (and I make alot of these), I use Deb Tucker's Diamond Rectangles ruler. Again if you are make many, many units as I do, that ruler provides lots of productivity and accuracy. No matter how you make it, a diamond rectangle adds so much to any quilt.

🌸👌🌺🌹❤️💕😍

Thank you. Nice tutorial

TIS is one of my favorite blocks. Thank you for demonstrating the tools to make this block. I have both DT’s V block and TriRecs rulers. I use TriRecs for the triangle an V blocks for the sides and trim down. My advice to any new quilter is to invest in rulers that will save you time, effort and money for any block with high bias. Split rectangles, flying geese, TIS, diamond rectangles, cats cradle all benefit from slight oversizing and accurate trim down. Your quilting will get better faster. These blocks depend on perfect cutting, sewing and pressing. These rulers insert forgiveness. I make all of these blocks often. I would not quilt without them.

I have Deb Tuckers ruler..same method of slight oversizing with accurate trim down. I think a specialty ruler for this foundational block eliminates frustration by keeping accuracy high and efficient in both time and materials. Any high bias block benefits as bias means acute angles which amplifies any cutting, sewing and pressing deficiencies. We know that “shift happens” . Great demonstration of this tool.

The Magic a method is great method for production speed, accuracy and fabric utilization. Plus no bias on the outside like the 4x methods. If producing many, trim in two passes. Do first right and top for all then rotate the pile once for second trim. When making blocks in quantity you are eliminating rotations and ruler reorientation. It is a big time saver. Great demo. I love the printed fabric.

I love my Diamond Dimensions ruler. No ruler is marked better for making 45 degree diamonds. Diamonds are not forgiving on cutting sewing or pressing. But they are so beautiful in all of their iterations. Marti Michell Deluxe Corner trimmer is a fantastic tool to mark the 135 degrees quarter inch for perfect alignment as it is small.

You don’t need a particular ruler to make the cut. Any ruler with a 1/4” marking works. I do it all the time. Thanks for the video.

Gostaria das medidas Amei muito lindo

Best explanation! A very big thank you😊😊😊

❤❤❤

What was the name of the pencil, you were using?

Such a calm , supportive voice and method!

Is there a way to use the ruler if the pattern requires a finished size that is not listed? For example, I recently completed a block that required the flying geese finished size to be 3 1/2" x 6 1/2." If not, any suggestions for trimming to the required size? I was unable to trim accurately, so I lost the points in the seam allowance when piecing the block together.

Excellent tutorial! Very helpful seeing the block made with a regular ruler. Time-consuming and wastes fabric, 😂 but good to know! Thanks!

How do I get directions to make the tumbling block out of diamonds

Colchester Mill was one of my very favorite places to shop when I lived in CT. Miss it very much!

♥️♥️♥️

Great demonstration!

Very calm description.Thank you

Such a happy quilting room. Lots of light. Love it.

Yay! It's a Marvelous Day!! Wonderful tips.

Excellent tutorial! I wonder if you could make half rectangle triangles using the last method?

Thanks you for this tutorial and I like your chair and carpet ☺️👍

I am so excited for this one. My first BOM with Michele was 2023,muts admit the diamonds challenged me each and every month. I love my finished quilt. Bring it on Michele, I love the mystery and the challenge.

Fantastic description! You have such inspiration in your presentations, sewing methods, and designs

Hi, Michelle. I’m your first thumbs up for the video 😅 Maybe I’ll bring some material to guild to get your advice before I decide whether to participate. I swore I wasn’t buying more material LOL

Amazing

Thank you! Wow, this is SO much easier than I expected, I was rather terrified, but you have made it look simple. I'll get started now.

I'll be using the no-extra-tool method, with just the simple rulers. I understand the 4.5" square, but what is the measurement for the rectangles you cut? It appears to be 5" x 3", but I'd like to be accurate and use your measurement - thank you! Your instructions for all methods are the easiest I've seen, and simple to understand.

Thanks for the pointers I was stuck

Where can the ruler be purchased? Great video. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this with us. Great description and showing how to make the two ways. ❤

I happy to see this block referred to as Peaky and Spike. Doreen Speckman deserves credit for her block, and for the tri-recs rulers

Doesn't the 1 color need to be cut in the opposite direction to the other color? Thanks in advance for a reply.

There's also a set of templates called the tri recs set that work for this

I have this ruler and I don’t like the white lines. The black is easier to see.

Muy bien explicado, ahora voy a hacerlo ya comentaré como salió. Gracias muy bonito😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you

WOW💐

Ok I have this quilt but I am stuck on the 4th month with the templates. I have everything cute but for some reason they are not lining up correctly and I keep taking them apart. Making units 3a, 3b, 3c they are not correctly lined up in the middle? Any suggestions or do you have a video of that section ?

Just a little scared!!!
