Many years ago I couldn't resist and picked up this fabric that had been at an estate sale, and then given to the Senior Center where we have our quilt guild meeting. The material is so pretty, and I waited for just the right pattern to show if off. This Tumbler pattern seemed just right. I really like the way the straight line quilting shows it off. A quilt like this is too big for lots of free motion fancy stuff on my small machine.
Also, at
another estate sale, I found this wonderful pale pink toile to use for the back. There is enough left to use on several more quilts. Sometimes it's worth going to estate sales even though I tell myself to stay away, and don't buy any more fabric. If you think I have a lot of fabric you would have been amazed at the fabric this woman had. And it had been offered for sale 4 days before I got there.
