I bought a copy of this book just before taking a workshop from the author, Marci Baker. The quilts are beautiful, and much easier than using the traditional method. I made the first quilt, a Thankful Harvest, with a center of tumbling blocks set on a black background, so it looks like the blocks float. Marci is an excellent writer and an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her books and her classes. You will definitely need one of the clearview triangles to make the quilts in this book. The book includes a number of variations on tumbling blocks, and some other 3D designs as well. There are a lot of diagrams, and the directions are very clear. The author also includes quilting diagrams.

My husband bought this for me for my birthday. I can not wait to get started on the quilt. It makes something so confusing (to me anyway) so easy anyone could do the tumbling block with these instructions. I want to do the “open” block. Thank you so much Marci Baker! You are one of my favorites!

Thank you. The patterns in the book ABC-3D are great. They’re really easy to understand, even for someone who doesn’t have English as their mother tongue.
