You could enlarge this pattern to almost any size with your printer. http://quilterscache.com/T/TumblersBlock.html

an easy inexpensive way to make templates is to take the paper pattern use cement glu and glu it to template plastic you can get at JoAnns then glue that to a piece of sand paper and you have a wonderful template that will not slip or slide

I ordered the tumbler template and a deal of the day charm pack and love the ruler. Pieced a table runner in about 35 minutes with the two of them. It is a slick ruler to use. I want it to make quilts at church. I am really happy with it.
