Just watched it....called Tipsy Tumbler....so cute and super duper easy....what a concept!!!!!!would make a cute I SPY for kiddos!

I watched it to ,neat concept will have to give it a try.

Watched that the other day - just don't know if I like leaving in the background fabric under the tumbler. Would have to try it in small scale to check it out.

My newly married niece was at my house watching me make a few of these blocks. I used my Go tumbler die and had a pile of tumblers cut and several layer cakes of different solid colors. She has never shown an interest in quilting but was fascinated by this method. She took over and before she left had enough blocks sewn to make a good size quilt. She's hooked. 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. .

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

Fantastic. She always has great ideas.

I thought it is very interesting.

I made one Saturday and it took me about 6 1/2 hours start to finish. I quilted each block with SID and dashed them together. I used a fishing charm pack. I loved how fast it went together. :-D

You could probably cut the block smaller after construction

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.

Thanks for sharing..

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!

thanks for providing the link

That is exactly what M* is all about.. bringing new people to the craft and having fun! There is nothing like having a hobby to help people relax and enjoy being creative! GB

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.
