Finished my Flutterby quilt and now onto the Tumbler. I did one of
these quilts many years ago, so it is an old quilt/pattern. I needed
something to use up left over pieces of this and that, along with material
in layer cakes and charm packs I didn't like, so this quilt is everything
including the kitchen sink so to speak. I really don't like sewing all these
at an angle. Some of the charm packs were long/wider than their supposed 5
inches. I have a acrylic tumbler pattern that just fits a 5 inch charm pack
with very little throw away.
You still have to trim top/bottom after these are sewn together. My quilt
will be approx. 91 inch long and as wide as I want, using the material I
have. There will be no border, just the binding. Yea, yea.

Sounds like this charm Tumbler quilt will be great with all the different
colors, like an old fashioned scrap quilt, like my grandmother used to make.
I have 2 of these that I helped with and learned to quilt on when I wasn't
even 12 years old. So this means they are about 58 years old!
