Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm thinking of making a tumbler quilt but don't have a template. What would be a good size template for a queen size quilt and is there an easy way to make the quilt. It's a lot of pieces to cut. Suggestions, tutorials, cuttiing info, assembly info?
I looked a bit but couldn't find a tutorial. No paper piecing for me.
Look for a tutorial at Missouri star quilt company's website. They have one for this quilt block. Have fun. I will be doing one myself next month with my guild.
Look on YouTube at Missouri quilting company. I believe Jenny has a video there. My DH made me templates out of plexiglass. He cut squares to fit a 5 inch and a 10 inch.

The summer 2013 issue of Quilting Quickly has a pattern & template for the lg & sm tumbler. This is the Miss. Star pattern. The pattern follows the tutorial like Block mag. does.

If a woman's work is never done....why start?
With 5 inches across the top what did you decrease the bottom to form the shape. The 10 inch perhaps an inch on each side. Maybe I'll check photoshop and see if they has a tumble shape for the proportions I was thinking about 3/4 of an inch on each side. My DH makes most of my templates out of plexiglass for me. He has always been a encourager for my sewing and quilting.
Here is the tutorial from Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt. I've made a few little ones for charity. Good luck to you.

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...
That quilt is darling but there looks like a lot of waste in the white fabric.

If you belong to a Guild or if you have a friend with an Accuquilt Go or any other cutting machine you may be able to borrow or use it to cut them out. A friend of mine is making a DWR for her daughter she & I got together and we cut out enough for a King in a few hours - she ironed the fabric with starch and I cut until she finished ironing then she did the cutting. (It was my machine, and I already had the die so she brought the fabric and snacks.) We did the same thing when she was cutting out 5 inch squares.
Do you plan to make a scrappy version of a tumbler or a planned color scheme? It's a fairly easy quilt. The instructions on MSQC are easy to follow and remember. Here is the website http://tutorials.missouriquiltco.com
Just put: tumbler in the search box and it will show you several.
I have the Go and can cut the tumbler blocks for a queen size in minutes. It's so easy to sew together in rows then join the rows. I cut the end tumblers in half to make a straight edge after the quilt top is finished.
I love my life!
