Yes, thank you. but how would I make a template from these two great designs. I finished a quilt top for my youngest son, and said the patterned was to busy for him. I think he will like these two patterns. I know I do. I am finishing up a quilt top for my oldest son. He graduates from engineering school Dec. 11. Oh we are so proud of him. I had made a blanket for him and the colors he loved, and asked if I could make a quilt with similar colors for him, and it is turning out just fab.
Thanks so for answering my question. I have no one to work with.

I am making a tumbler quilt now, and am using the wider end of my Easy Dresden template. I cut strips of fabric 3.5 inches wide, then use the wider end of the template to cut the tumbers. It goes really quick, and the template is nice and sturdy.

Missouri Quilt Company has one, I bought one and used it. The tumblers arent too large or small....in fact you can use it with charms

I made a tumbler quilt, many years ago after seeing one at a quilt show, and I probably used the cardboard from a cereal box. Now-a-days I cut my templates from the side of a plastic gallon size milk jug. It's easy to see through it and it's sturdy enough to last through several quilts. I have been using this type of template, in the shape of a hexagon, to make a fussy cute 'I Spy' quilt for my grandchildren.

I place the template on the fabric, draw around it with a pen or white chalk pencil. Then I roughly cut close to but not on the drawn lines. When I get a stack of these shapes I use my little cutting mat and a small ruler and then rotary cut them on the drawn lines. I don't like to feel rushed when I make a quilt so this method works for me. This is a relaxing way to cut them out and wouldn't be a good method if you want to make the quilt quickly.

There is a template for a 5" tumbler sold by Missouri star quilt co. It's worth the money. I have used it for several quilts.
