Wow! Carol Thelen you outdid yourself with this one. You explain how this block is created in such a way, that I immediately understood the piecing and shading, and didn't feel intimidated. I never considered making this block before, and now want to. Thank you.
I have wanted to make a cube quilt for some years, but felt very intimidated! Now that I have watched your amazing tutorial, Carol, I will be going through my stash tomorrow for sure!!!!!!! Take care ❤️
Great video! The explanation about the back wall, floor and side wall being opposite the border did it for me!! This is on my to-do list....near the top!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much Carol for showing us the less frustrating way to do this affective illusion cube. So impressed with the way that you teach. I have subscribed without hesitation. Great job.👍🏼👍🏼💕
Oh my gosh! You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you. I learned so much about multiple things not even related to the block you created. I would never have even attempted to make that cube because it seemed too advanced for me. But you made it seem well within my skill range. What a confidence builder you are. Bless you.
WOOOWWW!!! THIS IS SOOOO FABULOUS!!! I have never even wanted to do a tumbling block quilt (too intimidating for my skill level) and you make me want to make one like this today! 🤩🤩🤩
WOW! I believe you have been blessed with the gift for teaching! I can immediately understand your instructions….and that is for all of your videos, thank you so much!!
Thank you for this fabulous tutorial. Like others have said before me- your explanation on the ‘ceiling/floor’ was the best and solidified in my head how easy this 3D block really is. Im so happy that I have found you💕
That was the most captivating video for me as I am dyslexic, but it was so organized & non threatening that I wrote notes throughout. I love cubes because of the modern look they bring. Thank You so much!💜🧡💙♥️💛
❤❤❤ Amazing… Thankyou for sharing your Hollow Cubes Block… will definitely add this to the list to do… My first attempt of baby building blocks, was about 38years ago, and it was all done by hand…
I just found this video.. What a fantastic resource. I have been intimidated by this style of quilt, but you have explained it so clearly, that I feel I could succeed. Thank you too for not editing out the mistake. I felt that made you more real and approachable.
Oh my goodness! this quilt is awesome! it sure is very challenging to a beginner. I just tried making a stacked quilt block and I did it! I’m so proud myself as a beginner. I definitely want to try this pattern. Thanks for sharing
Another big wow!!! I’ve always loved the cube pattern but it looked really complicated in sewing the cubes together. You made it so easy by just sewing in rows - no “Y” seams!!!!! Thank you so much.
This tutorial Far the best tutorial of the 3D cube. Easy to follow and understand. I'm reaaly with my mouth open! After seing it, I must do it. Thank you for sharing. Mariza Ambrósio from Brazil.
I absolutely love this tutorial ❣️ You make it seem easy and I think that even I can do it. Thanks for such clear instructions and for leaving in the oops that shows us that even experienced quilters make mistakes and that is okay. You just fix it and move on.
I had to laugh about the mistakes. If we learn from our mistakes, I am a genius! Haha!! I have made just about every mistake that can be made and I'm always making new ones. Glad you like the video and thanks for watching.
Wow what a great tutorial, I always thought there was much more to this block than I was comfortable doing. I think it is going to be on my bucket list of projects. Thank you so much for the demonstration
When you noticed the error you did not edit, but left it to confuse the watchers. You added a flash note, but should have taken apart the error and fixed it before continuing to record.The background fabric is wonderful!! Color, intensity, scale and motion of design PERFECT.
Kate Carol said in the video that she didn’t see the error until she was all finished; just by watching her efforts it’s abundantly clear that she does everything she can NOT to confuse anyone. In one of her responses above she spoke to that point in her usual cheerful way.
this is out of my comfort zone but i have made ten an really like it thanks so much for sharing ,if i finish it i would like to enter it in our local fair if i could get your OK ,that also gives me a time frame to finish it going for no UFO this year thanks again for sharing
That background fabric is called Sedona Wave. It is 108" wide from Blank Quilting. I'm not sure if they print it anymore but I think you can easily find it online. Thanks for watching.
The blue fabric is Sedona Wave by Blank Quilting. I love it too. It is a wide backing but I think it also came in 45". A similar fabric is Wave Texture by Benartex. Thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness! Somehow your amazing videos showed up on my screen and I am indeed gobsmacked. I’ve always been fascinated by tumbling blocks and have found several sites I can easily follow. Right now sewing isn’t possible but soon I will have the studio of my dreams in our new house. My spatial skills are well-“interesting”. I can immediately know when something is off but then make the necessary adjustments. Your explanations were very helpful but when you didn’t explicitly cut the strips I panicked. I could follow everything else but the idea of finding something in the description below absolutely buffaloed me. I don’t know if I’m alone in that. When you were showing the pink block I could tell something was off but couldn’t understand what the problem was. For people like me it would be lovely if when you noticed the mistake you stopped immediately and showed how to fix it. When you began by demonstrating how the various colors defined the blocks I almost cried. I’ve never ever been able to understand how the blocks led to the magic. Right now I’m going to just use 3 fabrics: L, M, and D for the traditional block. And then I hope I can graduate to the gift you’ve shared here.
Melinda thanks for all the great comments! If I understand you correctly, when I said "in the description below" that means the information posted on TH-cam just below each video. I think you are smart to start with one block and see how easy it really is. I usually make test blocks before I make any quilt. Thanks for watching!
I loved seeing your reply, Carol. I just finished watching this again and then reread my comment about stopping right away and fixing mistakes. This time I tuned in to you saying you didn’t see the mistake until you were finished and had to take things apart. Now that I-quilters-completely understand! I could watch your videos all day.
Great tutorial. I have a couple of Marci Baker's books (and of course I have her ruler!). I've not undertaken this technique yet. Thank you for your clear exposition of the technique.
Thank you for the tutorial! I still haven’t finished my One Block Wonder quilt top and this gives me an incentive to do it….. I would love to make a quilt like this 🥰
When you are watching the videos on TH-cam, look just under the video and you will see the title then the like button and under that is a light grey box that is the description. Look for "...more" and click on that. Lot's of good information will pop up. Look for DOWNLOAD FREE INSTRUCTIONS. Thanks for watching.
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you for taking your viewers through this technique at a calm pace as it made it easier to grasp each step. One thing I did notice was when you put your larger quilt together, many of the pink blocks were pieced incorrectly as they were in your example. I thought perhaps you had digitally duplicated the blocks to make it look as if a whole quilt was arranged until I saw the strip pieces together on your design board. When I saw that all the quilting had been done with those pink blocks unchanged, I was a little shocked and wanted to know if you had noticed the blocks had been pieced in the incorrect order? Please do not think I’m being critical of your quilt as I think it’s amazing. I have completed a two quilts where I didn’t notice I had made an error in a block until after the binding was on. After a bit of heated self discussion, I’ve just accepted that errors are made and are part of the charm of each of those two quilts. 😀👋🇦🇺
I agree that errors are part of the charm!! In that case, I have a lot of charming quilts! If I see a mistake and am able to change it easily, then I change it. Otherwise It is what it is. I make quilts for pleasure and for giving. Nearly every one of my quilts is given away Most of the recipients are members of my very large family and they wouldn't know a misplaced patch if they saw it. I think in my Hidden Cubes quilt there were several other blocks in error that I found only after quilting. I think they were blue and/or brown but I'm not sure. I get it that some quilters want everything to be perfect and that's OK because we all have different paths to happiness. I am so appreciative that people take time to send me comments. It is a true pleasure to learn what people are thinking after viewing my tutorials. It is a learning experience to me. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Wow! Carol Thelen you outdid yourself with this one. You explain how this block is created in such a way, that I immediately understood the piecing and shading, and didn't feel intimidated. I never considered making this block before, and now want to. Thank you.

Thank you and thanks for watching!
Best explanation I've ever seen. Thankyou. Look forward to your other tutorials
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant. Thanks
My pleasure!
Oh my goodness! Somehow your amazing videos showed up on my screen and I am indeed gobsmacked.
I’ve always been fascinated by tumbling blocks and have found several sites I can easily follow. Right now sewing isn’t possible but soon I will have the studio of my dreams in our new house.
My spatial skills are well-“interesting”. I can immediately know when something is off but then make the necessary adjustments. Your explanations were very helpful but when you didn’t explicitly cut the strips I panicked.
I could follow everything else but the idea of finding something in the description below absolutely buffaloed me. I don’t know if I’m alone in that.
When you were showing the pink block I could tell something was off but couldn’t understand what the problem was. For people like me it would be lovely if when you noticed the mistake you stopped immediately and showed how to fix it.
When you began by demonstrating how the various colors defined the blocks I almost cried. I’ve never ever been able to understand how the blocks led to the magic.
Right now I’m going to just use 3 fabrics: L, M, and D for the traditional block. And then I hope I can graduate to the gift you’ve shared here.
Melinda thanks for all the great comments! If I understand you correctly, when I said "in the description below" that means the information posted on TH-cam just below each video. I think you are smart to start with one block and see how easy it really is. I usually make test blocks before I make any quilt. Thanks for watching!
I loved seeing your reply, Carol. I just finished watching this again and then reread my comment about stopping right away and fixing mistakes.
This time I tuned in to you saying you didn’t see the mistake until you were finished and had to take things apart. Now that I-quilters-completely understand!
I could watch your videos all day.
Very clear instructions. Great video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial. I have a couple of Marci Baker's books (and of course I have her ruler!). I've not undertaken this technique yet. Thank you for your clear exposition of the technique.
