It started out as a leader/ender project, but was so much fun to work on that I just couldn't leave it alone. I started and finished this little quilt within the same month... now that is a rare occurrence!
It measures 8" x 8.5" and is made of 108 tumbler patches. My favourite patches are the 3 teal tigers that were fussy cut from a scrap of fabric.
There are so many seams in this quilt, with very little area for quilting without having to go through a lot of seams. So I just hand quilted right across the middle of each row.
This was such a fun project that I'm kind of sad that it's finished. Now that's crazy!
What are you hand stitching today?
I'll be making more appliqued seed blocks since the tiny tumble is done.

Starting and finishing a project in the same month. Most impressive. Such tiny adorable blocks, I can see why you didn't want to stop.

I love the tiny tumblers. That is such a cute project!
The Tiny Tumble is adorable! Sometimes small projects that finish quickly are just the right thing at the right time!
You have lots of time to start another tumbler quilt!!! You know you want to!!!
Oh my goodness those tumblers are so small. I love the fabrics. This is adorable. I love the way the tiger is peeking out.
Gee, that was less than 2 weeks for that one. It was just as cute in person as in your pictures.
Thanks for the SUnday inspiration Kathy!
That's a great little mini Kathy. Love the Red.
What an adorable little quilt! I love it, so cheery. My leader/ender tumblers are much larger. I'm doing them USA patriotic colors for an American Hero quilt.
Oh, how cute! And the fussy cuts are so much fun.
Your little tumbler quilt is adorable!
The fabrics in your tumbler is very pretty. It is such a cute project.
Hi Kathy I'm back. :) So tiny so cute, Love your mini tumbler quilt. Hugs
That's funny Kathy! I started the 'leader/ender' project and managed to cut out and stitch together about 10 tumblers - that's as far as it got! I love the fabrics you chose and I think you're right: those little tigers are very cute!
So cute! : )
Wow, your little tumbler quilt is so cute! Those little fussy cut tigers are adorable.
love a tumbler quilt, plan to buy a template at the quilt show next week, but will get a big one as not too good on tiny things
Your thimble sized tumblers are too cute. Love the colour combination.
Congrats on the finish. I really like the red and teal color combination, they seem to balance each other out really well. It's a beautiful mini.
