A close-up of a few of the luscious fabrics. All the tumblers and I believe the outer border (my favorite) were gifted from my blogging friend Janet at Rogue Quilter a couple years back - thanks again Janet!! I tried some wonky big stitch hand quilting of the tumblers, and the borders were just ditch quilted on the Janome. It was while ditching the narrow light purple that I discovered one of the pieces had been mis-cut, and is wider at one end than the other. At that point I wasn't about to take it apart and recut - a humble little quilt indeed!
The back, a piece of an older purple tiny floral print from my stash.
And, just because I really wanted to have some outdoor photos with a daffodil backdrop and these are the only available stand-ins!
Have a wonderful weekend, and happy stitching until next time.
Ah, as soon as I saw this little quilt it made me smile. A lovely finish, and the border difference just gives character. The hand quilted texture is a great final touch. A winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like how you are combining hand and machine stitching. A great mini to start the season.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so pretty. My son brought me some fabrics from Guatemala. They are hand-dyed and hand-woven. I was thinking a tumbler might be a good choice, and I have some other ideas for them too. Yours inspires me.
ReplyDeleteThe narrower piece does not show in the picture. I like the hand quilting in it.
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt so much that I didn't even try to find the special little tumbler. Wow, so pretty with the big quilting stitches.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This one was especially fun to make, and I'm happy that I waited until I had time to hand quilt it.
DeleteWhat a sweet little quilt. I have made a mini tumbler quilt myself and can attest to how fun they are to put together. Your hand quilting is the perfect finish for it. Love seeing your daffodils too! Hope your weekend didn't turn out as rainy as you expected, but that indeed, you enjoyed spending time with family. That's the best!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome April finish. Love the tumblers that Janet sent and how you combined both hand and machine quilting. Happy spring🌷
ReplyDeletePrecious little quilt! The fabrics are wonderful, fun to look at the closeup and enjoy each one.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend was fun and not as wet as predicted, we only had sprinkles and very grey.

Very sweet! I have one little tumbler table runner and I've never grown tired of it! Great little finish.:)
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! I think "tumbler" is my favorite one patch quilt. I just adore this one! I will link them all in my post today. Thanks for another great mini!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tumbler mini! It looks so nice on your table with those pretty daffs :)
