If you want to make an adorable quilt thats quick & easy and looks like you spent hours upon hours cutting fabric then this tumbler quilt is perfect for you.

I had a mini quilt retreat at my house this past week and Amanda {Jedicraftgirl} and I made these Tiger Lily tumbler quilts together. Plus alot more quilty goodness.

Fabric you need to make a 49″ x 64″ tumbler quilt:

30 - 5″ width of fabric strips

2 yards of fabric for backing

quilt batting

6 - width of fabric strips for binding

You can use your scrappy fabrics or fat quarters for your tumblers, but for these quilts …. we cut yardage into 5″ WOF strips.

With your Sizzix fabi machine, cutting pads & tumbler die ….. cut 240 tumblers.

Using our Sizzix products …. we were able to cut 580 tumblers in under an hour. Enough for both of us.

Time saving tip: If you are using 5″ strips for your tumblers, you can lay one entire strip on your die and cut them all at once.

Starting with your first row, stitch together 20 tumblers with 1/4″ seam allowance.

You will make 12 rows of 20.

Don’t forget to square up your top and bottom edge before quilting.

I quilted mine 1/4″ away from each seam ….. i just love how it frames the tumblers.

Take your time quilting and if you have to walk away from your machine to take care of your family, just leave your sewing machine needle lowered into the fabric. That makes it easier to come back and finish where you left off.

Sewing with friends is priceless….. and with a limited amount of time, we were so excited to use our Sizzix fabric cutting machine to make this comfy cozy quilt to remember our time together.
