Here are two quilts I have been working on inbetween my others with my left over scraps, I have used the prints more than once, but the Grandkids don't mind.

All of you who have posted the postage stamp quilts have inspired me this weekend. Thanks for posting - great use of your scraps. :lol:

You know, I did a 3" square block, scrappy king-sized quilt for my DIL and son. It's still on their bed, but I thought it would drive me insane by the time it was all said and done. Your postage stamp is beautiful, but -- may I say you are crazier than me?!

A tumbler is something I'd love to do if I could ever get caught up with dangling projects. Darnit, people are waiting on them and I have had no desire to sew for the last few weeks.

Really like the postage stamp one!

Great idea!

I am doing scrappy tumblers also. Love the simplicity of
the sewing & cutting. Husband made a template for me &
piecing goes quickly with no stress.

I agree, this one goes so fast. I have a template and try & use as many different prints as I can.

I love tumbler quilts, both looking at someone else's and making my own. I did one recently with large tumblers and all the fabrics sewing or quilting related. Really like yours, so bright and colorful.

I got mine from the quilt shop. You may give ebay a try.

intoquilting 07-31-2011 01:22 PM

I am doing a 2" postage stamp and cutting a large tumbler now. I may not live long enough to finish the postage stamp. LOL I am working on both of these as I cut out and work on other projects (using up my scraps).

ann clare 07-31-2011 01:38 PM

Thank you. I also cut alot of my scraps into mini dresden plate pieces, most of the ones I have now are all 30's close to about 1,000 pieces. A big mess right now, but I'll get to them one of these days I hope..

30's scrap use
