I am making a tumbler charm quilt right now. But can see it in all kinds of color combos.

cool, how are you getting along making it, did you buy the template or make your own?

Gee craftybear, you do get around:)
To bad we don't live closer, we could get together and make our tumbler quilts. I am only looking to make wall hanging's but can see the possiablity that one may become a larger quilt. LOL
I have 6 rows by 9 blocks laid out on my mini portable design wall to sew together today.

I made a baby quilt for my niece. I bought a plastic template, even though it wasn't necessary. For $5 @ Joann's with a coupon, it was worth the expense.

I had a BUNCH of 4 1/2" blocks left over from one of my very first quilting projects and got tired of sewing them together as blocks. I started at the top corners and went in 1 1/4" on each lower corner to make my tumblers. I did two twin quilts of those.

I have a six inch tumbler die for my Go cutter. It is one of my most used dies. The layouts are are fun mixing solid/prints/lights/dark. I sew small scraps together to make scrappy tumblers.

I am using the omnigrid template. Love it. Also, have the cracker template that I am using at the same time & setting those aside to stitch together later. Saw a flag design in Connecting Threads using that shape and I may make later.
