String Tumblers
As requested, brief instructions are posted at my MaryQuilts.com site for this tumbler quilt. While I did cut this one with my wonderful GO cutter, it can be made using a template.
I realized as I was trying to draw the string blocks in the EQ that a stripe fabric would work in place of the string pieced blocks too.
Today’s picture is a little better and hopefully you can see how pretty the Blue Aqua fabric is — I feel like it’s my Summer vacation quilt esp. as we’re heading for Florida on Saturday and I’m anticipating lots of beach time!
East or west coast? I live on the west coast and the weather is beautiful.
very cute! And my favorite color too.
Enjoy Mary, hope you get to let go and relax.

Thanks for the instructions, Mary! I love this quilt and using striped fabric would make it a really FAST quilt!
Have a wonderful time in Florida! I wish I was going too…summer in PA hasn't shown up yet and I'm getting a bit impatient!
Where are you going in FL?
Hi Mary, I'm saying "hello!" from Tokyo! I do love the vibrant, exciting, wake-me-up" colours in this lovely quilt!
Something about that porch railing…all quilts look wonderful hanging on it!
Have fun in Florida…pack lots of sunblock!
Have a great time and enjoy the beach. The tumbler quilt turned out great.
I looked at the GO cutter at MQX but can't justify it. I don't make enough of my own quilts
Have a wonderful time in Florida. Are you going to visit Deb while you're there? Have a couple of adult beverages with umbrellas for me.
Your string tumbler looks great on the railing! I'm starting one, too. Have a wonderful vacation. You deserve some R&R.
Thank you Mary for the Tumbler Quilt instructions..another use for the scrappy strings that are piling up in my bin! Even better using fabrics with stripes already to go :>)!! Have a wonderful time in Florida! Like Susan said, PA is waiting for summer to be here on a daily basis…humidity and rain is what has been happening here!
Another GREAT pattern ~ thanks for sharing, Mary!
I mentioned your patterns in my blog post today ~ hoping to get a few more MBB quilts done before the end of the year (they count in the Heartstrings db, too).
Have a good time in FL!
I'm over on the East Coast and the weather is beautiful here as well! Hope you have a fantastic time and I really love the tumbler quilt. I might just have to try that! Thanks.
Love the turquoise you used for the set in this. It turned out so nicely!
I love that aqua color. Perfect little summer
vay-cay quilt! Have fun! Jenn
Hey Mary – your blog was mentioned a couple of times on the quilters village blog on their website. Congrats!
