tumbler blocks

I have been eyeing the Accuquilt Go! cutter for awhile now.  I really need to break down and buy one.  But it seems every week that someone else is giving one away.  So I put off the purchase again, cross my fingers and wait.  No luck so far, but I am entered in several giveaways this week.  And, altho it pains me to do so, (this isn't helping my odds people) I will tell you about one of them.  Gene's giveaway ends at midnight October 15th so you have still got time to enter.
I am getting off track here.  I am always getting off track.  Anywho.... the reason I want one of these babies is that I am dying to make another tumbler block quilt but not dying to cut all those tumblers out.  I really like how my last tumbler block quilt turned out.  I almost wish I had kept it.  Of course, I would have had to make it a wee bit bigger to keep my butt warm.



I think this was the fourth quilt I made.  I felt very adventurous (at the time) when I did the echo quilting on my home machine with (gasp!) red thread.  LOL  I wish I had more of this Barbara Jones fabric.  It is simply yummy!

Ah, you know I love this quilt, Jandi! It's my go-to when someone has a baby ;).

Oh... I'm glad you posted this... I DO have some of that fabric and I DO have the tumbler block cut-out - yeah!!! AND this looks adorable. So, I may not be in the land of quilt shops any more. However, I built up my stash pretty good before leaving. Hope you are doing great!! Sad to hear I didn't win the photo shoot WITH airline tickets :)

Good luck with your quest to win a GO. I won mine in June and really enjoy using it.
