Advice needed for a tumbler block quilt
 
I am working on a tumbler quilt. I would like to leave the edges without a border. Binding is not my favorite thing. Will it be too hard to bind the blocks as is or should I go ahead and do the border? Thanks.

I did a flag with the tumbler pattern and did not put a border on it. The binding went on really easier than I thought it would.

I made four Tumbler quilts this year and all of them had the sides cut straight with no border. Good luck. Great quilt to make.

Depending on the quilt and its colors, sometimes no border is the right design choice. Do post a photo of your quilt - it's on my to-do list.

Thanks for the replies. I don't want the sides to be straight. I want them to be zigzaggy like the blocks. I'm not sure about binding all those angles. ;)

Here is what I did for one for charity.

Marcy Baker has a site, I think on You Tube doing hexagons. The process would probably work for The Tumbler as well. Or perhaps you could do the "birthing" method?
