Pretty Quilt Tumblers for a Scrappy Tumbler Quilt
Scrappy AccuQuilt Tumblers
All these lovely scrappy quilt tumblers make my heart happy. So many cheerful fabrics. These are for a new tumbler quilt named “For the birds” after all the sweet little bird fabrics in the mix.
Tumbler quilts are so fun. It is a traditional patchwork quilt pattern that is simple to make, but has so much character.
These quilt tumblers are made with the AccuQuilt Go! Fabric Cutter. The template is the AccuQuilt Tumbler 3 1/2 Die and it makes an easy tumbler quilt block.
The AccuQuilt Go! Fabric Cutter is a fun way to cut quilt shapes and it saves so much time.
I have made quilts with hand cut tumblers before. This Rainbow 30’s Reproduction Quilt is a good example. However, sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the rotary cutter.
The last time I made a tumbler quilt (Tumblers Beach Bound – finished product) I set out all the pieces exactly where I wanted them, stacked them up and started sewing (click here for pictures of this).
This time I just started pulling pieces from a pile and matched fabrics in pairs that complimented each other. Once I made it through all the pieces, I started over again matching pairs and so on.
I can’t do just completely random. I am not wired that way.
The fabric for the back of the quilt is Nicey Jane Church Flowers. I love this floral and purchased it a few months ago specifically for this quilt.
