Interesting but I thought there was too much white background. Interesting concept.

You could probably cut the block smaller after construction

She said it was fun and wasn't worried no one had to tell her she wasn't doing it right. I could see her confidence level rise after each block. .

Did you use the large or small GO tumbler....am thinking about it this

I don't like all that white either. But how about making the tumbler larger or cutting the background piece smaller before sewing. (Cut from yardage.) A good project on which to experiment.

You could make any color background depending upon what type of charm pack you use for the tumblers. I'm going to make one but it surely will not be white... I have not jumped on that all-white modern bandwagon yet!

Hum, maybe a new use for those string blocks (tumblers), of course I'd go a step further and cut the back away from the tumblers. I'd also start with 8 ibch blocks.
