I purchased the Accuquilt Go 4 inch tumbler die a while back. What a fun die it is! I had a larger and a smaller tumbler die, but like Goldilocks, this one is just right! It was so much fun putting this little quilt together. Perhaps you might be able to guess that Mr. Muddling has already claimed it for his own.
Remember in my last post I showed the pattern I planned to use for the Kim Diehl fabric, Chocolate Covered Cherries? I decided to add sashing and a small friendship star between each block. I am pleased with how it finished.
Here's a better look at the finished product. I really like it. This one is for a special friend and will be headed her way next week.
Like a lot of you, we've had brutally high temperatures lately. Houston is always hot in the Summer, but this year seems even worse. Maybe it's me. Anyway, I'm not doing a lot outside in the daytime. However, at night, it cools down a little and I love to look at that night sky. We've had some pretty clouds and the moon is wonderful. We even got a little rain on Wednesday! Glorious rain!
I hope all is well in your part of the world and that there are things that are making your truly happy! God is still good, and I am so thankful for that!
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

I have only used my tumbler dies for flannel quilts so far. Maybe I should cut my whopping pile of batik scraps into tumblers. Yours is so pretty.
I think sashing and little twinkling stars was perfect for that quilt.
I think your area has had the longest hottest summer I can remember. Usually that hot dome moves but it just stayed over the whole area of the country.
Both quilts are wonderful. i do enjoy seeing tumbler quilts. They work so well with all fabrics. That is a special quilt.
And the Chocolate covered Cherries quilt has come together really well. Love the additions you have made. That will be a perfect gift.
I love you quilts. You have a marvelous talent and I'm so glad you share your photos of your beautiful quilts. I hope the temp. will cool off soon.
I am always amazed at how each time I visit you here, you have yet, another lovely and different patterned quilt! I am in awe of you! Both quilts are lovely. I love the chocolate covered cherry colors! Lovely moon! Yes, the rain is just what a body and soul needs!
I'm thinking Mr. Muddling is getting quite the collection of beautiful quilts! I love your chocolate covered cherries -- the sashing is perfect!!!
