Tumblers - a modern version of a 1920's classic

 I first saw a modern tumbler quilt at the Ivy Thimble in NY during a trip to visit my daughter a couple years ago.  We bought some fabric at the shop to go along with her living room color scheme. 

To make the tumblers I started with an 8" square and  cut from the corner 1"  in  on two parallel sides.

Hand quilting included 1/4" on each side of the vertical seams.  I marked each of the borders with a simple wave pattern template and a sliver of soap.

I completed the quilt in time for her 28th birthday.
