In the video below, Ruth Sielaff demonstrates how to put together the 3D Block. Two corrections to note: in the video, Jeannie refers to using light and dark fabrics, but it should be light and medium fabrics. Also, toward the end of the video, when Ruth is working with the large black triangles to create the border, she mistakenly refers to it as the binding rather than the border.
