Tumbler blocks
The first template I bought when I started to quilt about 9 years ago was the classic tumbler. I made a thanksgiving and a Christmas table runner, and put the template aside until last week.
Looking for something simple to do, (mindless, really, I didn't want to have to think!) I came across the tumbler and this is what I ended up with, a charity quilt that measures 41" x 53". The colors are brighter than the pix shows them to be.
Using stencil plastic, I added an inch to each of two touching sides of the original template to make a medium tumbler, and then added 2" to two touching sides to make a large template. Cut the templates out and traced the shape on a stack of about 4 to 6 pieces of scrap.
I think that I will be doing this one again!
