The Small Brown Tumbling Block Lazy Susan is based on the Tumbling Block quilt pattern. It measures 12 inches across (13 ½” tip to tip) and 2" high. There are 312 pieces on the overlay. The pieces are cut and glued in place, one piece at a time. The pattern covers the top and extends over the edge uninterrupted, to within ¼” of the table top it sits on. The stationary base is hidden on the inside, behind the edge.

The pattern has the illusion of a lot of blocks but there are as many stars as there are blocks. The design forces you to see the blocks. On each diamond, if you go to the side you are in the middle of a block. At each point you are in the middle of a star that has 6 points.

This lazy susan is made from “Hackberry, Oak, and Walnut, all native to Missouri.
