Paper pieced Tumbling Block

Image
Continuing playing with English Paper Piecing I give you A basic Tumbling Block Sew, starting with three 60 degree diamond shapes in three different shades/patterns of green (choose any colour you like)  Using the same technique as we did for the hexegons, stitch the fabric over the papers. Then  Stitch two of the diamonds into a V shape And to complete the tumbling block Stitch the third diamond into the V  This is the wrong way to place your diamond onto your fabric!  We had great fun last Thursday. Everyone used the same template I had used, and cut their fabrics the same size as mine. But One of the ladies (who shall remain nameless) I don't want to embarrass her  though I was left red faced by this!!!  So anyway, one nameless lady called me over as she had a problem.  She had laid her template onto her fabric. But the fabric piece was too short - there was not enough to fold over at the points of the template. See pic above N
