Love 5" square ideas and this black/white fabric was just👍💙👏💜

[@mrgarner4796]

I love this tutorial. It reminds me of one of the last quilts my Mom had planned for my brother before she passed away. I will definitely put this on my project list. Thank you!

This is very nice ! Teaching how to make tumblers without asking us to buy another special tool hon ! I can see this video is years old but these are becoming about rare today ! I hope you have more newer videos maybe would be nice ! I wanna take a quilting class so bad to get my feet wet into quilting ! Inspiring myself I have some patterns I’ve bought but they seem advance and I’m not good at reading directions ! One day I will have a KZbin channel and I will teach and inspire to help ladies /gents who can’t afford a special ruler as they use to teach years ago it seems but not as much any more !

You are not lazy, you are smart!

[@joybarber6974]

Thank you for showing an easy way to make this shape without having to buy another special tool and a fun way to use 5” stripes! 😊

[@vrccim5930]

Thanks. Just what I was looking for and no need for a template.

[@RosemaryN]

So glad I did a tumbler quilt search and your video popped up! Perfect color suggestion and perfect hack of an expensive template!

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Ive spent forever trying to find out the measurement of the smaller side if the bigger side was 5". Thank you, thank you,thank you! You taught me what the 60 degree ruler line was for and what to make w that. You are terrific and i LOVE you!☮❤😙😙😙

[@fayealexander7126]

You really make quilting fun and adventurous. like all the options you give and love your fabric choices.

[@mccoyboy420]

GREAT tutorial!!! I love how you explain things simply in your videos and give optional layouts for the blocks!! Most of the other sites just focus on shoving some unnecessary tool down your throat and not the quilting itself!! Thanx again!!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I love your tutorials!

[@carmenstine3916]

OMG! You’re the quilt angel!

[@suzanneritchie7048]

Thank you Susan .. I realize this is an older presentation but a great help for a beginner. I will be watching all your videos. Suzanne

[@marydivo1688]

Love the versatility of this quilt think this will be my next one I make

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Love this, I have steel rule die that cuts a tumbler shape and love your demo.

[@kaybutcher5719]

Thank you for not telling us we need to buy another ruler/template. 😊. And I do like the first alternating tumblers and the tumbler stripes also give the imagination free range using favorite fabrics. I do like the clean simplicity of the black and white. Thank you!

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks so much, I just love playing with fabrics!

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thank you, I always want to make more quilts, there are so many delicious fabrics!

[@jenniferfarsh675]

I made a small quilt in blue/white with your Tumbler Pattern... it's perfect! Thanks!

[@connieking9873]

Great video. Time saving with how you cut them out.

[@rmartin8887]

Thank you for showing us that we can make this shape without having to buy any special tool or template. I would love to use these colors,but I would add a sliver of red in between just to add a pop of color. I love all your videos and I'm anxiously awaiting for new ones to come.

[@chytrim901]

I actually bought the 5" tumbler ruler and could have saved that money to buy fabric.:) Your way is exactly the same results. You explain and show A-Z step which help me start and finish without guessing what to do next.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Thanks, I had wondered which angle is used for tumblers. You are brilliant. I just looked at a tumbler triple play at Missouri star, using their template rulers. One of the ladies used 2 3/4" strip sets for her four-patch alternate blocks, unfinished at 5" square. A revelation for me. Jenny Doan then said, they look like flower pots, so the flower could be placed on the alternate or background shapes. What a pretty idea... and the other lady put diagonal stripes in her charm squares. Very fun, though confusing to lay out. Thanks again, I don't need a special ruler for just one quilt. All the best.

[@kayla3928]

Thank u for showing us that. I don't have to buy the template I watch u a lots on here have learn a lot from you.

[@pattiwise2122]

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you so much for doing them!

[@stellakittycat9356]

What a fantastic tutorial. I am a complete novice and was just going to try and make my first quilt with squares as I have limited tools, a cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler.. This was so clear and simple I’m now thinking I could do this without investing vast amounts of money in equipment. Thank you so much.

[@Danielle33384]

I just love you and your videos!! Thanks for taking the time to do them.

[@cindygehrke5249]

I can't believe how simple! I actually bought a cutting ruler/template that cuts 5" squares into tumblers. What a waste of money! Thank you for your tips and tricks tutorials! -Cindy

Thank you so much! I was going to look for a tumbler template for the 5 inch squares - but now I don't have to! I can start cutting my pieces using your measurements - thanks again!

[@kristiedentice8021]

Love this idea! You always have such great tutorials to watch & learn from. Keep up the great work.

Do you have a method like this for the Dresden plate template? Be Thank you for sharing your video enjoyed it very much.

[@grace2548]

Great tutorials I love it!!!!! Love your fabrics!!!!! I want to know where u get all yellow rulers?? And fabrics?? Maria

[@brendaneedham57]

Hi when making a 10 inch tumbler, what the narrow edge measure please? Thanks

[@BrokebutCreative]

I was thinking of sewing them in "tubes" and then cutting one of the tumblers down the middle (of off center) that way you have a straight edge to work with. I don't want a really lined up look. I like abstract wonky things. Would that work?

[@klikes99]

They pink those ends to keep it from fraying :) I love the material of those blocks. Do you remember the name of the charm pack?

[@jebbyragavan1397]

Hi Susan, what size rotary cutter are you using, please? Is it 60mm? Love ALL your tutorials.

[@auntdee9678]

Darn. I bought the tool from a popular online quilt shop a couple years ago. Oh well!

[@raeannferguson3215]

How so you figure out how much favric you need using 3 colors for quilt 34"x42"
