Blue Tumblers

It really didn't take me long
to get that tumbler quilt top basted and quilted.

I wanted to be able to turn it in at
tomorrow's meeting.

The color just fit with the
color of the sky and the foothills
yesterday.

The color might also be on
beaches of the Caribbean, but for now
I'll  have to stick with the snow and mountain.


I love how this pattern
from the Missouri Star Quilt Co.
was so easy and fast to piece.
The blocks can be laid out so the tumblers
go every direction.

I used this polka dot flannel for the backing
and at the quilt groups holiday party,
 
 I received a piece of this blue fairy frost fabric
which was the perfect color for the binding.

I quilted straight lines in the white background to
make the seams less noticeable.
I didn't mark anything, I just stitched
along the edge of some masking tape.
I didn't even quilt in the tumblers.  I wanted
the fabric to be the star.
It's nice to have my obligation done,
but I hope, it will be even nicer for some
new baby boy to enjoy a little quilt from me.

Until Next Time-

  7. I like the way the tumblers look as though they are dancing. Your snowy landscape is the perfect backdrop.

  8. Beautiful finish and a beautiful photo - I think I like it better than a beach pic - the tumblers echo the distant mountain peaks. Your quilting lines are a great choice :)

  17. A great setting to photograph your quilt - the group will be SO impressed when they see it! I like the way you quilted it - looks very modern I think! I just learned that Garth Brooks will be performing in Denver in March - trying to convince hubby that we should go.
