This quilt must have been ALMOST done
when I put it away a few months ago!!!
It sure didn't take long to get it DONE!
It helped that I was stuck at home today
with a sick child.
A child that didn't need a nurse.
Just needed a day or so to let the cough
and sniffles calm down.
;)
I'm calling this one my
"FOR THE LOVE OF OLIVE" quilt.
The backing was purchased on impulse
a long time ago.
I love the way it goes with the green tumblers in there.
This is a comfort quilt.
Just the kind I LIKE!
It's full of old, new, ugly, cute,
green, blue, pink, purple.....
orange!, gold....
Next time
**cough, cough...**
I make a tumbler quilt...
I'm going to BEGIN with a GO cutter
and not a little plastic doohickey
that requires
rotary cutting.
rotary cutting.
cutting.
and MORE
cutting.
Looks great Beth. I have the go tumbler but I really wish they would make a smaller one. I emailed them about it but nothing yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tumbler quilt. Love the idea of using scraps to make one and I did get a die for it, much easier than cutting by hand.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
It looks wonderful! I love the backing fabric! :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely Beth.
ReplyDeleteWere you just stitching binding to finish it?
It makes me think I should be cutting some more tumblers and getting onto making mine.
Thanks for sharing.
I would love to make a tumbler, but don't want to deal with all that cutting either. This is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute comfort quilt! Looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Hope that little is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteIt's great Beth. How is your hand after all that rotary cutting?
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful comfort quilt. :) And isn't all of that cutting and cutting and cutting the part that connects us to our ancestors? LOL
ReplyDeleteso pretty and colorful..love the way you put the lights and darks together. scrappy quilts are always so nice.
ReplyDeleteI made one using larger tumblers that I cut with my GO Cutter.( have a picture of it in an earlier post on my blog). I have the little tumbler die too. I have some cut out so I guess I have to sit at my machine and put them together.
I hope your young one is feeling better

I also hate cutting, consider it the necessary evil of quilting. But I love your scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe doohickie did a wonderful job. It is such a snugglie looking quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Isn't it amazing what scraps can make?
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely fabulous, Beth, and I am sure it will bring lots of scarppy happiness to your family as well!

Scrap quilts are the best! They have so much personality!!! Personally, I think they help us bond with our quilting sisters from yesteryear!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you finished piecing it AND quilted it too? High five! Love it! (I don't have a go cutter but they seem really cool!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!!!
ReplyDelete"Old, new, ugly, cute" all look fantastic here!

I like it! Nice feeling to get it finished, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome Beth! Scrappy quilts appeal to me but my OCD little mind struggles to put them together. You've done a great job!
ReplyDeleteI love it! All that cutting was worth it!
ReplyDeleteooooh, I just love a good tumbler quilt! yours is so nice, it makes me want to start one of my own! {someday I will, when I have a few less projects in the works}
ReplyDeleteI've had this pattern on my to-do someday list for a long time. When I finally make one, I'll take your advice on the cutting. Enjoy your lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is one gorgeous quilt! And even with the GO, it would still be a lot of cutting and a lot of sewing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful, Beth! And I have the GO! Cutter AND the template - now I just need to get on the ball and cut one out!! Whoop whoop!!
