The Tumbler Quilt

This was a fun quilt to make!  It was made using an Accuquilt die cutting machine and a stack of fat quarters I had pulled two years ago.
The template die is designed to cut the corners off

which makes for accurate piecing
(although not infallible)


and perfectly aligned seams!
About 58 x 64"
 It's a bit breezy today so the quilt is not crooked as it appears in the photo.  The small border was left over from another quilt, the binding was left over from the back of a quilt and the back is a chambray from the stash.  A very satisfying use of what was on hand!  I would like to donate this to the veterans home but I think it is too small.

And speaking of the stash... as of this week the stash has been reduced by 24.14 yards since the beginning of the year.  Yay!
