I thought this was a nice balanced collection of blocks around the perimeter of this quilt. The colors were really nice too.
I was standing in the aisle so this isn't a straight on shot. I really liked this one. There are a lot of brushed Moda plaids in it and I have a good collection of them. I may just have to make one like this. It was even richer looking than this photo shows.

The tumbler quilt is very soothing and "old fashioned." Not a lot of excitement, though. Might get tedious - especially if you're going to make it anywhere near that large.
The first quilt is perfect, just beautiful. I made a tumbler quilt top just recently. I had a huge amount of 5" charm squares and used the template from Missouri Star. I used it as a leader and ender project and it turned out great with my selection of civil war fabrics and other dark fabrics, perfect for one of my grandsons. I think the next one I make will be from bright fabrics. I believe this tumbler is 2.5".
I really like the tumbler quilt. I think they have a die for them also. Make quick cutting that way. Chris

ReplyDeleteThe tumbler quilt reminds me of the millennium quilt I made that had 2000 tumbler patches. Tumblers make an interesting one patch quilt.
