Almost Finished 1890's Reproduction Throw Quilt



This is the first quilt I made.  I did not know about fabric grain, and the stretch may be off a bit but the tumblers are small and I don't think it will make a difference.  I tend to pin a lot so it may take me longer to quilt, but I truly get satisfaction out of my corners lining up.  If mine are close I often don't rip out for supposedly that adds to the charm (or so I tell myself).   I had it long arm quilted with a leaf motif.
















I have the binding to still sew.  I purchased the AccuQuilt Go Big electric fabric cutter and will be cutting my binding on the bias with it.  Supposedly it is very easy.  I will post the completed quilt when I am done.

1890's Reproduction Fabric Tumbler Throw Quilt



I have stated a tumbler throw quilt with 1890's reproduction fabric.  I found a fabulous double-strip tumbler ruler (4-1/2") that allows me to cut out five (or ten if I layer my fabric) quickly.   Creative Grids


I had a nice assortment of about 28 patterns within a short period of time.





The design is from a Better Homes & Garden magazine.  I will have it professionally machine quilted.  My next update will be to showcase the finished quilt!


Will post finished quilt soon.
