Tumbler is a long-term project and I continue to cut pieces and add a row every now and then. It's one of my favorites. I'm to the point where I need to dig into my stash and cut some light-colored fabrics.
I really enjoyed appliqueing these circles which I'm calling Marbles. I sewed the 4" blocks together yesterday. Borders are next.
Sweet Gum Leaf is the third block in Barbara Brackman's Westering Women series. I contemplated hand-piecing but nixed that idea real fast :)
I saw this little quilt on Pinterest and you know the rest of the story, lol!
I couldn't wait to get started so here's a glimpse of my repro :) The top is done and ready to be machine quilted.
Oh, dear! Hexies were pre-empted by circles and the 9-patch repro. I must get back to sewing these together. There are 9 rows total.
I'm hoping to finish quilting Stars In A Time Warp this weekend in which case the binding is ready and waiting :)
