TUMBLERS!

Ready and waiting....

The backing fabric, you can see I just quilted in the ditch


Love it looking puffy

Well!! I am really pleased with what I managed to get done today! I quilted in the ditch of the tumblers and then decided to try a fancy stitch on the edge, and the good news is I like it!! Just have to work out now what I am going to do in the border, if anything, as it is going for the puffy look at the mo, and I am happy with that. It isn't that big, a very small lap quilt or wall hanging, not too sure what I shall do with it when I have finished it, but am sure that is a bit of a way off for now! The backing fabric came from my friend M, as she has a fabulous market stall which sells them so cheaply, that we are in constant supply!!! Thanks M.x
