Liz’s Tumbler Quilt

Hello there,
Things are starting to pick up around here. If you’d like a quilt quilted before Christmas, let me know. I’m only scheduled into the first week and a half in September at the moment. I’d love to quilt for you!!!

Liz and her sister Pat love sewing together. They found this tumbler quilt at our local quilt shop, I wish you could really see the fabrics they are sooo sweet. You can do a google search and find several tumbler patterns. It’s such a good basic block. I even have a tumbler quilt from back in the day.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline and a tan’ish cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

We decided on Patricia Ritter’s and my Sweet Indigo quilting design for the quilting. I don’t think we could have chosen a more perfect design, than this one. It’s just so lovely with those fabrics. Sweet Indigo is available at Urban Elementz.

Look at that lovely texture. This is a prime example of looking at the overall design of the quilt blocks and fabrics, as you’re selecting the quilting design. I also want the scale to also be appropriate to both the fabrics and blocks. I think it turned out fabulous.

And…the added bonus, is the minky. It definitely has the coziness factor…and this design on that backing is just awesome.

I know this quilt is simple…sometimes that’s what we need. A simple quilt pattern that shows off the beautiful fabrics. I’ve seen a local quilt shop offering these kits. The tumbler quilt is trying to make a comeback.

The design deal today is Flight. Fun huh?!?!?!!! It’s was such a fun one to design. Excited to see it on a quilt. Flight is 20% off, no code necessary. Snag it before my next blog post.

That was short and sweet!! Thank you for being here. - Leisha
