Update on my Tumbler quilt top....


Here it is.......top is done...now I need to find a backing I like and quilt it...and it will have turquoise binding (same fabric as the smaller, inner border). This will look very nice in the sewing room / bedroom used by the grands when they are here. That room has a turquoise comforter on the bed and the valance is turquoise and lime green and there is a lime green sheer curtain on the window. This is throw-sized.......about 42" x 64". It was SO easy to make with the AccuQuilt GO! cutter. I only got the cutter on Monday afternoon and a tumbler quilt would have taken a long time to trace all the tumblers and assemble...hard to believe this is already DONE in 5 days (finished it yesterday). I am very happy with how it looks...and I used only scraps from my stash to make it (except for the green and turquoise fabrics in the borders, which I had to buy as I didn't have scraps large enough in my stash for that). What do you think?

I love it! My top is done also. I did it in less than two days!!!! I cut on Thursday night, and did some sewing. Sewed a bit more on Friday night. Finished by Saturday afternoon. I know that sounds like three days, but actually LESS than a 48 hour period. Yaaay!!!!

I would NOT have attempted this with out the die cuts.
