Mini-Tumbler

Mini-Tumbler - My small group, Mini-Masterpieces, exchanged 3-inch squares in order to make mini-charm tumbler quilts. I added enough tumblers to total 144--no fabric is repeated. In addition to the black inner border, I string-pieced borders on some left-over sew-in interfacing (2x6-inch strips). After the strips were long enough for two sides, I cut them in half lengthwise. I used my walking foot and did a simple wave quilt design lengthwise through the center of each tumbler, and stitched in the ditch on either side of the black inner border. For some reason, I could not square this quilt up after quilting (because it is rectangular as one of my smart-alecky friends said), so I attached commercial single-fold bias tape in a wavy pattern, trimmed the curves, and then sewed the folded edge down. I had drawn some uniform curves but ended up just free-forming the curves. Voila, a table runner for my dresser top.
