I participated in a number of swaps which allowed me to collect the fabrics rather quickly. I really enjoyed making this!

I cut the tumblers with my GO--WOW is all I can say.......there are so many ways to place these.....on a yahoo group website there is a whole album full of what the members of that group have done..........I want to do one that is large flowers each outlined in a narrow black strip, so that when done will look like a stained glass....could also be done with batiks...quite striking........also a good way to get rid of scraps as seen in the pictures above.........also fun to put together.....I did not need any starch when constructing a strap one I did.........but that is just me.....

I have learned a lot from Jenny's videos. She is a great teacher. She makes you feel like you are learning from a friend. And she is just as nice in person. If you get a chance to visit Missouri Star Quilt Co. Don't miss it. It is a great shop and everyone is so friendly and helpful. I'm not affiliated with Missouri Star---Just a satisfied customer.
