I made a toddler quilt for a little friend of ours. When I was in San Antonio I met a lovely family who are friends of my son's family. They are visiting from Germany. Their son Paul doesn't have a little quilt of his own so the first thing I did when I got home was make him one. I've had the Sandy Gervais fabric "Lollipop" waiting for the perfect project.
The flannel backing isn't part of the collection. I found it at my LQS and was pleased at how it blends with the Lollipops.

| Guess who? I used a new template that arrived while I was away. The 5 inch charm pack tumbler template is from BrazosBottomQuilts. It works like a charm(sorry.)  |
You can see how little waste there is. Love it.
I also finished a mug rug made from a pattern designed by my blogging friend Amy. Mr.W(hite)S(ocks) now knows that a mug rug is a large coaster that you can fit more than a cup on. Can you think of a better description?
Amy's creations are remarkable! You can find her patterns on Craftsy.
See you soon! xoxo

Cute stuff Deborah!
It's beautiful! I'm sure Paul will cherished his first quilt and mug rug for quite awhile.

Oh they both look perfect. I have a Sizzix tumbler die, which really does need using!
Love the quilt, and the almost total lack of waste!

You're the Tumbler Queen! Love what you've made with this classic shape! I think I'll have to get busy and make a tumbler quilt one of these days...yours is inspiring! Thanks for featuring my pattern with such a sweet example of what can happen with it! Love the way your turkey goes with it!!!
How do you sew the pieces together and get the seams to line up? Thanks barbara babscorbitt@gmail.com
Super cute!
That is SOOOO sweet of you to make a quilt for Paul--what a lucky little guy. Adorable quilt, too!
Paul is going to love this beautiful, colourful quilt! That tumbler ruler looks fun, very handy for all those charm packs that are too pretty to resist.
Such fun fabric for Paul to have, how kind of you to make him a quilt! Love how you quilted it. It's always entertaining to see Mr. White Socks in your photos!
I love the colours in your latest quilt Deborah..really lovely and it will be treasured for sure.... So pleased to see that you are keeping Mr.White Socks busy too!
Happy Weekend,

So sweet of you to make that lovely quilt for the little guy. Have a great weekend. Tammy
both the little quilt and the mugrug are lovely! I wonder if you would answer a question about your template for me? It looks in your photo as if the bottom corners of the tumbler are blunted. Does this help with getting them aligned properly to sew?
Perfect fabric combo for a little man. How sweet of you
What a lovely little quilt. The colours are so cheerful. xx
Aww, it was obviously meant to be for that fabric, I'm sure he'll love it
Thanks so much for dropping by my blog and for taking the time to leave a comment.
