2277 tumbler blocks

2277 tumbler blocks sewn together into strips = 3 larger than lap size quilts.
I have no idea how these will look yet, I haven't spread them out side by side. I have just been following the colour layout I played with in EQ5, and hope for the best! I will wait until I have all the strips sewn into a top before I look at the finished top..hopefully I have sewn the colours in the correct order.
Here is the "left over" tumblers I still have to play with...I have already made 7 quilts out of these, there must be enough for another 3-4 quilts there!
You should see what a difference I have made in the stash pile though...it is a great way to clear out the "what to do with this" fabric!

That is a lot of tumbers! Are they charms? (as in no 2 alike?)

Although, the strips aren't sewn together, yet, they're looking great and I think it will be a colourful scrapquilt.Martina

Oh my, I so wish you and I were neighbours and you could teach me how to patch like that. Amazing. xx

Wow - can't believe how many tumbler patches you've made. I'm sure they will be as great as your previous quilts. Do you have plans for them once they're finished ?
