Missouri Star Quilt C is the best.... do go to YouTube or their sight.... their tumbler quilt could not be easir... they even have a template for it... just watch Jenny... she makes it all so easy.... pre cuts are great, but mo one says you have to use them,,, the process is still the same with your scrap fabrics...

I did a tumbler quilt using the MSQ small template. I decided to piece the material and then cut using the template. Mine looks like glasses half full. White on top and a colour material on the bottom. I have much fun and I love the way it turned out.

I tried putting my Go! tumblers together last night and cannot get them to line up correctly. No matter how I do it, they are not even at the top and bottom. What am I doing wrong?

These are Beautiful Fabrics!!

I made a baby quilt using the same Accuquilt/die. It did take some time to cut but no where near as long as if I had cut them one by one with a template - and they all came out perfectly. Quilt went together like a dream. Sorry I can't post a picture but I am away from home caring for a grandchild.

Here's a picture of the Tumbler Quilt that I just finished quilting and am the process of adding the binding. (The picture is prior to the quilting.) This truely is scrappy, as no two blocks use the same fabric (577 different fabrics!),and it measures 82" x 102". I participated in a number of swaps which allowed me to collect the fabrics rather quickly. I really enjoyed making this!
