I finished the Tumbler last week (or was it the week before that?) Times flying! Lately I’ve had so much Blog Fodder that I couldn’t squeeze it in! Now that’s a first!! :o)) It’s usually the other way round…nothing to write about!
And I should have positioned it more artfully…maybe in front of a cactus or hanging from a Palm Tree…but frankly it’s been too darn hot to mess around in the blazing sun with a heavy quilt! Besides…doesn’t it look great on the floor of our RV…
You have seen pictures of this quilt before… it’s been a UFO forever!
I left the sides zigzagged and mitered the corners which made it slow going…but I like it, so I think it was worth the effort!
I used my Accuquilt GO fabric cutter to cut out the tumblers, making this a VERY easy quilt to make.
So another UFO bites the dust…literally! I should have swept the floor first!
I am planning on keeping this quilt…maybe folded and placed at the foot of our bed (at home)…believe me, we need no additional quilts for down here!
Have a marvellous Monday and Happy Stitching!~P
Gorgeous Paulette, that's a whole lot of little tumblers!!!
ReplyDeleteNice finish. I think you raided my stash for some of those tumbler pieces. LOL! I recognize some of the prints as ones I have had.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish. I love the colors in this quilt. A tumbler quilt is on my someday to make list.
ReplyDeleteIt's really gorgeous, Paulette! The mitered edges on the binding were totally worth it. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI love the edges. Definately worth the extra work!
ReplyDeleteMe too! The binding treatment really makes the quilt. Good job, P, all the way around!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm so proud to say I'm blog friends with someone who actually finishes quilts! Woot!
ReplyDeleteIt came out beautifully, I still need to use mine, nice that we can cut a lot of blocks out with ease.

What scrappy goodness! Keep up the finishes!
ReplyDeleteA tumbler has been on my list. Yours is great inspiration. I especially like the fact that you left the sides ziggity. More work to bind but so much more character in the end.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took the extra time for those edges. It is surely worth it. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paulette! it is such a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish....it looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteI made one but gave it away.....really want to make another one now..

Ahhh........finishes feel so good! It is great too. I do like the zigzagged edge too.
ReplyDeleteYay for you. I need to get my tumbler quilt out and finish it. Maybe this year!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paulette, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! I LoVe the tumbler block! Good that you had it cut too! How did you finish the edges? Have. Great day .
ReplyDeleteHugs Marg.
Sorry, now thT I've enlarged the quilt I can see that you did the binding into the curve...very effective! I had wondered if you used a tumbler and then cut it to put the binding on.....
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. Marg.
This is so beautiful! Good for you...now it's a finish and will be put to good use when you get home!
