- This is a fun way to use those charm packs to great advantage. You can also use "mini" charms to make a smaller block. Remember to cut background fabric 1.5 inches bigger than you want your "unfinished" block to measure. It's ALL for FUN!!
OMG! I cannot believe I have not seen this method before. I truly wish I had known about this method of sewing blocks years ago. How very simple. Thank you.
Love the blue, yellow and purple quilt! The sweet one was adorable as well.
I just discovered your channel this evening and I gotta say I love your style and attention to clearly explain how to do things. I can't wait to make one of these tumbler quilts and to take what I've learned here and incorporate it into other quilts. Thank you for your time and effort. Can't wait to watch and learn more from you 🙂❤️.
Welcome aboard!
My quilting mojo has disappeared until I saw this video! Thank you very much for giving me the passion to quilt back!!
I hope you have SO MUCH fun now playing in fabric!!

You are such a joy to watch! Mom is in heaven so she can't teach me to sew. You have the tricks. 💓💓
Thank you for finding us. We are happy to share what we know.
Excellently explained & recorded. First time here & glad I landed here. TFS🥰
As always, you show me ways to make it easier. Why didn’t I think of that? Odd and even: perfect!
Cute quilts!
I just love the fold method! I'd seen it years ago but forgot about it. Thanks!!
First time seeing you. ❤️ I love this video. Thanks❣️
I love your odd/even pressing. I do the same but often I press to the odd cause I'm a bit odd and need to embrace it!😂
Ha, ha, Ha!!
Wow!!!! I like both ways - the second does remove that extra layer of the middle which could be important when quilting. I’m new to your videos and watched the wonky stars right before this one! Sure would make some nice easy quilts for charity - my guild makes quilt for Children in Crisis and these would be super. Thanks - I took screen shots so I Will remember🤭🤭🤭
One of my favorite charity quilts is the Quick Strippie. I did a video on it. The pattern is free from Mary Johnson.
I really like the floating tumbler block that you've shown. Thank you for your video!
Glad you like it!
Just stumbled upon your videos this morning and liked and subscribed right off the bat! so glad I found you, and love your style.
Thank you! Welcome aboard...

Interesting yet simple quilt pattern. Thank you for sharing. 🧵🪡🥰
Thanks for watching!
Sweet quilts! Thanks for the useful tips.
I enjoy watching u on RUclips all the quilts & things u make r so beautiful & different & that’s what I like. I noticed you like some things I do….scrappy, string or improv (because I hate rules)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment!
I really like the way you made these Tumbler quilts. Thank you for the sewing directions and ironing directions. On the smaller Tumbler quilt 2-1/2" size did you sew it the same way as the larger Tumbler pieces?
Yes, sewing it with either method will work.
I love your cheerful voice. Good job ❤
Thank you so much!
Gracious these two methods are great. Saved it to my project file. This is a great way to use up my 5” squares. I especially like the folded one. Thanks
This is so cute! I have a few charm packs I’ve been saving but wasn’t sure why, now I know. Thank you for the great tutorial.
I've done one but I put all next to each other and it didn't come out perfect but I gauss it was good enough for my sister I think I tied it cause I didn't know how to do the free motion quilting then I've just learned 7 years ago. I've got the perfect charm pack for this quilt all I need is background fabric. Be watching it again for sure. Thanks for sharing.
And happy quilting ❤
Have fun choosing your background fabric!!
Wow, the end result looks like a smattering of coffee cups! For a 'coffee buddy, applicating a curved handle on either side would be darling!
Additionally, on the "Template Cutting Method," where one duplicates the shape, why not make another a monochromatic backing, using one background color with the left-over ore-cuts, or colored blocks with the backgroud fabic--or, another quilt!
I like this one. A lot of possibilities.
Sounds great!
My goodness so fun! Great for a baby quilt😊
I think so too!
I always love a quick block and using scraps. I LOVE THIS! Thank you SEW much!
Really liked...shared with a friend😊
Thank you.
I love this! I can use my scraps and make it as wonky as I want! Thank you for sharing this!
I just stumbled across your channel and I adore the fold method. I have decided to adopt your method of odd and even rows on pressing. I don't know why I didn't think about that. So easy and I appreciate you taking time to explain how your techniques. Oh and I just bought my very first long arm. Tips and suggestions are definitely appreciated there. Thank you!!!
Owning a longarm is life changing. It's a better investment than a new car! If I were you, I would watch the old pajama quilter videos (MerryMabelMarket RUclips channel) for some free (if older) freehand instruction and have SO MUCH FUN!!!
Another fabulous quilt. I can't wait to try this one.
My goodness, that quilt with the yellow border turned out exactly as you described it in the beginning - so sweet! (The purple, black & yellow one is nice, too, especially for the interest factor to small babies with that high contrast black and white.) Thank you for sharing.
This was intriguing! I loved watching both ways! No tumbler template needed! Please do some more unique methods!
Like the techniques. Will give this a try. Thanks.
Wonderful!
I am going to try this after the first of the year. I learned a lot of different methods from you in the is video. I am going to try the way that you put your rows together on my next quilt. I usually lay it out on the floor next to the machine, and then just pick up the pieces as a go. I think your method will be faster, and I am going to try it. Thank you.
Good luck!
I love this sweet, soft looking baby quilt. It's perfect.
Thank you! 😊
Oh my ❤ I see this in my so near future! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Hope you like it!
Omgoodness I Love This👏👏👏
As being newer yo quilting I’ve included this on my wannado list!
Thank you for awesome directions!
❤️😀
Yay, thank you!
I really enjoy your videos. TY for sharing.
Both of these are new to me! Thanks!
So glad!
Love this idea!! Can’t wait to try it!!
Tiny tumblers! That’s perfect for my 18” dolls. Thank you, what a great idea.
You're a genius! Thank you for sharing!
I love this, I can’t wait to try it
Great project, Dawn.
I love watching your videos! Thank you for all of the great tips!
Thank you for another amazing tutorial! 👍🏻👵🏻💖
Love it must try
Wow thanks 😊 great ideas
Love your video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
😂great lesson. I've been pressing odd even for 30 yrs. Love it . Thanks.
So cute kid's quilt. Love the method. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
What a fun wonky block!
It is fun AND fast!!
Wow das hab ich noch nie gesehen sehr sehr schöne arbeit
So cute and simple! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Watched this technique again. Loved it again. Haven’t made the quilt but it is on the list. Thanks Miss M. 😂
Wonderful! Have so much fun doing it!
OMG. This is inspirational!
It really is such a fun quilt!
Great video and tips! I’ve used what I call fold and sew. I also like your other method, where the tumblers are trimmed and sewn back together, taking out the extra background piece. I usually cut that out when I use the fold and sew method for squares. I also like that you mix the two methods in putting together your quilt. I would like to try this with some mini charms. Thank you.
Thank you
Awesome
Wow! ❤❤❤
very nice
Cute.
❤❤❤
This is so wonderful to see.
👍🏼
Thank you for a great video. I was thinking... that center block from method 2 can be put on colorful backing fabric
Absolutely!
The furst method seems so much easier & the little pieces dont get misplaced.
They both have their benefits. For sure you are right about simpler piecing on that method!
For Mini-Tumblers, cut diagonally from corner to 1/2 inch square on the cutting mat. I just got done cutting 168 pieces. I cut 5 inch square pack into 4 pieces; then cut the tumblers. I do have the MSQC mini-tumbler template. But do you think that I could find it when I needed it? Of course not, not me, lol. I'm thinking of making 4 patches out of them. Then who knows?
Sounds so fun!
👍
I do like the second method. I think that I'm going to try it but modify it for the mini-tumbler. I think that I'm going to use fusible something, whatever I've got at home, to adhere it to a 5 inch square. Then I'll sew a cute stitch around it. Then I just have to sew 5 inch squares together. Some of them might be upsidedown or sideways. Who knows? I'll let you know how it goes.
What size square for the background pieces, do I need to cut if my little Tumbler is a 2-1/2"
Size?
I have a bunch of 2-1/2" mini charms, and about four or five rolls of 2-1/2" strips. So this quilt would look so cute made from these 2-1/2" mini charms. I don't want to start cutting up fabric background pieces for all these mini charms. Without knowing what size the background squares need to be. Because that would be wasting material and fabric is expensive. So if you could let me know what size the backgrounds needs to be for this I so would be very appreciative.❤ These mini charms have been hanging around my sewing space. Just waiting for the perfect quilt for them to be made into. And after watching your video tonight I thought oh this is just the perfect quilt I love this idea❤ Thank You
There isn't a FAST rule to this. If I were you, I would start with ONE 7 inch square. Sew it. Then decide if you want less or more background fabric. (You might then decide to stay at 7 inches, or even go down to 6.5 or 6 inches.) It really is personal preference. PLAY!! You'll love it!
Thank You for your advice on telling me what size background square. in this case 7 " to use for this project I mentioned earlier in the comments section. In regards to using a 2 1/2" mini tumblers. Squares, it's so helpful to have a starting size. Looking forward to making this quilt in the video.
Just found this channel and enjoying you videos very much. What size of background squares-fabric do you use for the 5 inch tumblers?
I started with 11 inch background squares...sewed them, THEN trimmed them down to 9.5 inch - ready to sew together.
@@merrymabelmarket thank you! Looking forward to trying this block,and seeing more of your videos.
Thank-you, not needing a template is so good. I've always heard "nesting" the seams. Have you tried putting a pretty and a background block face up together, cutting the shape and having positive and negative blocks? Two quilts or front and back together?
Yes I have, When I do that. I usually make two separate quilts. Works great for all the shapes.
I love your ideas for this cute quilt. I am interested in making the smaller tumblers. Could you tell me how far you cut in for the 2 1/2 inch squares? I’m thinking a quarter inch thank you
I did mine a titch over half. Just be consistent with your cuts and it will work great!
Is there one method you prefer over the other? Thank you!
It seriously depends on my mood. Both methods are good. You can do both methods on the same quilt if you wanna try and see how you feel about the methods yourself. The folding method causes less confusion for a beginner. But - the cutting method has less bulky seams! Just depends what you are doing and why.
Not a fan of all the folds in the block. Even so you are a wonderful teacher and makes it all look so effortless and beautiful. I think maybe I will just use a decorative stitch to sew the tumbler right on the white block, so I won’t have to do any folding and cutting.
Now that’s a whole other option! I think it would turn out great! ❤️😀
