Hi, itís Jenny from, the Missouri Star Quilt Company. We have something really exciting
to tell you about. We joined forces with Pepper Cory in producing some of our own rulers!
Itís amazing! Itís going to be really fun! My daughter Natalie came up with the idea
to use the tumbler, to make a tumbler ruler that would actually fit the precuts. Theyíre
exactly designed to fit the precuts, so when you use them you have very little waste! The
tumbler is so popular right now! So, we want to show you how to make that
and how easy itís going to be!
This first tumbler quilt, isnít this adorable, itís made with the Riley Blake. This Riley
Blake one right here. Weíve just used two Charm Packs on this. Very little waste, and
look at this! Look how cute that is! Hereís a really fun part, too. We have some gorgeous
flannels in the shop right now. Look at this argyle flannel! Have you ever seen anything
so cute!
Anyway, this is an awesome little quilt. Weíre going to show you how to do this. Itís going
to be so fun! Alright, here weíve got a little 5î, these are our little 5î squares. Weíre
going to lay our tumbler pattern on there. Our
Tumbler Ruler, Signature Series, Natalie Dawn, for the Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Look how little waste you have! Weíre just going to cut along this side. Look at that!
Look how little those pieces are. Then weíre going to flip this around. You donít have
to flip it if youíre good with cutting on the ruler on both sides. Iím not so good
with that so I flip mine around. It gives you this wonderful tumbler piece, and then
what youíre going to do is youíre going to lay your pieces, I have some other ones
cut here, this way, and just make a few rows of them.
Letís see, weíre going to go that way, and youíre just going to stitch these down ºî,
like this, and youíll make a row. Youíll just make rows, then youíll put the rows
together, and itís just going to make this darling little quilt.
What Iíve done is Iíve put one together using the Bliss Charm Pack. So, I can show
you what I do with the edges. Because you guys probably have the row thing down where
you can stitch that little ºî seam, and just stitch the rows together, and thatíll
work.
So, letís look at the edge on this Bliss quilt. This one is so cute too! Donít you
just love this fabric line! Look at this fabric line! Now this is the raw top with no borders!
Weíre going to put some borders on it but first I want you to notice, that right along
this edge right here you can see, it goes like this. Now because the girls have the
scalloped edge, Iíve actually considered finishing one just like this for the boys
quilt, but I didnít want to do that on this one because weíre just introducing this new
ruler, but what weíre going to do is weíre going to trim this straight,
so, that you can easily add a straight border to it, and youíll see that even with trimming
it straight itís very little waste. Itís the same little bit of waste thatís on the
other one.
So, what youíre going to do is youíre just going to make sure that your ruler, where
the tumbler comes together, that your ruler points line up along the edge of that. You
can just trim that little edge, and weíre going to trim that
right here, and you can just see where itís just still such a tiny little bit of waste,
and this is going to give us a straight edge for our, to put our border on. Let me move
that down here a little bit. The top and the bottom will already be straight and so we
donít have to worry about that. Itís just this little part right here, and there you
go, thereís our straight edge on that side and we can come around and do it on the other
side, and our quilt will be ready to border.
And these just, Iím telling you, they go together so quick. This is two charm packs
and I mean, I probably put it together in probably a couple of hours, it was so quick!
Youíre going to love this. It makes a wonderful little gift, a wonderful little baby quilt,
and itís really as easy as a Charm Pack quilt with a little more pizzazz!
So we hope that youíll check out these rulers made for the precuts from the Missouri Star
Quilt Company, and we hope you enjoyed this tutorial from us here at the Missouri Star
Quilt Company.
