Tumbling Gum Drops – 36″ square<\/p><\/div>\n

I just finished sewing the last stitches in the binding of this small wall quilt.<\/p>\n

This quilt measures 36″ square and is my entry into my Modern Quilt Guild’s Robert Kaufman Modern It Up Challenge. \u00a0See my previous post here<\/a>\u00a0for the rules.<\/p>\n

Part of the challenge was to take a traditional block and make it modern. \u00a0The traditional block that inspired my quilt was the Tumbler block. \u00a0In a traditional quilt, the Tumbler quilt blocks are arranged side by side, neatly in rows with no space or sashing between the blocks. \u00a0To make the Tumbler quilt block modern, I used the Missouri Star Quilt Company’s Tipsy Tumbler quilt<\/a> pattern to add negative space between the blocks and arrange them in a random way across the quilt.<\/p>\n

My tumblers remind me of a package of gum drops that has been opened and tipped to gain access to the contents so I have called my quilt, Tumbling Gum Drops.<\/p>\n

My quilt is now officially entered into the Challenge. \u00a0Keep your fingers crossed that my quilt will be successfully juried into the Creative Stitches Show<\/a> at the end of March where our Modern Guild will have an information booth. \u00a0If chosen by the Jury, my quilt will also be part of an exhibit of modern quilts that will be displayed in\u00a0a quilt show to be held in Penticton from\u00a0May 8 – 9.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
