Tumbling - Part Duex
Yippee!! Another quilt moves from Not Quite Finished to Ready for Quilting!
A few months ago, my quilty friends had a cutting party and I cut/received a ton of tumblers, so they called and called (the tumblers, not the friends) and since they were getting to be kind of loud, I finally, just sat down and addressed them.
So about a thousand tumblers later, the new quilt top of Twin #1's bed is done! When I say thousand I'm not exaggerating.....there are exactly 1080 tumblers in this quilt. And I still have about 200 left, so I think I'll tumble them forward to someone else who is working on a tumbler quilt (a little birdie told me of just such a person west of the Mississippi).
What fun to have a quilt top with pieces of my friends in it....
Hugs and Stitches!

I like the photo with the quilt draped outdoors over the chair. Looks great.

Very pretty, all these tumblers are making me want to make one.

nice megan
and I'm jealous, I started a tumbler about 10 years ago, and it's in a box somewhere...... what a lucky boy to get such a beautiful quilt.

I love those tumbler quilts, I am thinking of making one myself one of these days, it's just all the cutting . . . I started a Grandmother's Flower Garden a couple of years ago, still in the works, but I estimate it will have about 2,000 hexagons.

I love your tumbler quilt.. I have been working on a grandmothers flower garden quilt and I think I am up to about 3000 hexagons.. I bought myself a tumbler template to rotary cut fabric and that saves a lot of time, but I just love your quilt!

Finally having a chance to begin my catch-up blog reading. So now I'm to this post - and I see you alluded to little old me LOL! I can hardly wait to start working on MY tumblers. I guarantee mine will be of your variety - not the every-one-placed-just-so variety of yours and my little birdie's.
