I make the very simplest quilt with them. No sashing, just one simple border and the binding, then tie or you could handquilt. With the handquilting I would do a primitive style using perle cotton. Yum-yum. Beautiful!

I have a small tumbler template and a WIP, charm scrappy tumbler quilt. I need 4" squares so my template must be about 3.5 inches. I layer about 4 -5 fabrics and cut them out. Place a small matt on top of a larger one, and the smaill one will turn, just like a rotating cutting mat.
Speaking of Accuquilt, anyone have the drunkard path 7" template they would like to sell?

I traced one out of a magazine before Christmas and made tumbler table runners. Remember when we used cardboard, replaced when worn out, then the template plastic was wonderful, and of course old X-ray film if you could get your hands on it. Lids and plates for circles???? Making up patterns, not buying them all???? Quilting does not HAVE to always be expensive!!!!!

But I know my mom would also love all the wonderful things we have today to make quilting more pleasurable. Like heavy duty plastic templates and rulers. Things that hardly ever wear out and make your quiltmaking faster and more fun. My mom made quilts just because we needed them to keep us warm. She didn't make them just for the pleasure it gave her. Store bought blankets cost too much for a big family to be able to afford. Now, more often, we make quilts to fill a need that we have, to be creative and to share our creativity with family and friends.
