Tumbler quilts
 

Do you ever want to just sew without thinking much? It is a perfect activity for me when in our motorhome in the winter. I decided to do some tumbler block quilts. One is random of mask remnants plus some backings. I cut and cut (with my Accuquilt), and it seems to have not made a dent in my scraps! The other two were made out of a lovely layer cake I bought on sale; I just chose some coordinating solids. The two layer cake quilts just got a simple meander with the binding sewn with a feather stitch. The scrappy version got pebbles 1-3” in diameter and a binding applied with a serpentine stitch. These will be donated at a RV rally we will be attending this summer.

They are all very pretty.

Oh golly dog, now i don't know which one I like best! Can't choose. I like them all!!

I like simple quilts. Yours are beautiful. My personal favorite is the green one because I'm partial to the color green.

Very pretty! I was just thinking earlier today that I should cut some tumblers with my AccuQuilt.

Sew w/o thinking? At least once a week! lol...I have a tumbler template some place. Maybe I'll dig it out/ Yours are just gorgeous. Love love the scrappy one.

Love it - simple sewing! And your results are soooo pretty - I like all of them but that third one is just POW! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

All oh sew pretty! Love all the colors.

Simple sewing is a relaxing moment. I don't have the tumbler template but I have hundreds, not kidding, hundreds of "bricks" cut out. Guess I should just start building a quilty brick wall and get them off my shelf and into someones arms. Thanks for the inspiration, CanoePam.

Great tumbler quilts...I know exactly what you mean about the feeling of just piecing without having to think too much. It is very rewarding and relaxing to just sew pieces of fabric together and ta dah...a finished quilt.

My favorite is the last one as I am a scrappy person. I made a large one a couple of years ago and donated it to our local church fall bazaar. It brought $400 in an auction type segment of the bazaar.

I love the scrappy one.......always a favorite with me. All are very nice.

Tumblers are one of my favourite quilts and these are lovely.
