Tumbler Flag Quilt

[Music] hi I'm Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company I have a really fun quick easy project for you today take a look at this darling little flag wall hanging behind me it's a Tumblr project with our Tumblr template and our template is made specifically for the precuts so very little waste and it's just that's all it is it's just tumblers so this is quick and easy so what you're going to need for this project is nine blue cutout tumblers 26 Reds and a half a yard of white cut into F cut into tumblers to make your roow your rows you can see how they end up going together it makes it look like that flag is blowing now we're using American Basics by um Windam and it's a great Basics line red right and boot patriotic line but we have all have loads of scraps especially patriotic scraps and all you gals who do the cool The Valor quilts you have scraps so it can be made just with your scraps so easy so quick so let me show you how um we cut out the Tumblr ruler we lay our 5in Square down and it just goes corner to corner you can see the corners actually just kind of barely go off the edge and we only have a little bit maybe 3/4 of an inch of waist down there just a tiny little bit and that's all you're going to need to do is cut out tumblers and and this is going to go together so this project for it the layout is key because you want to get your star Block in there and your stripes in there Jake's going to put up an awesome diagram of where everything grows so you'll be able to see it so let me go ahead and show you how I laid this out so you can see how easy this is so we're going to start up in the top corner with our blues and we're going to sew these together in a long row this way so you're going to need three blues white red white red for your first row and then when you sew these rows together you're just sewing straight seams so easy so when you lay these Blues these the Tumblers together what you're going to do is you're going to see a little bit peek off of each end right here just a little bit peeking off and so you're you'll um they don't line up exactly but when you sew them and open them then they're lined up perfect you just leave that little tiny bit peeking out so we're going to put three long and I'm going to move this up here so that I can uh get you give you an idea of what this is going to be like this is such a quick project so we have blue blue blue then we've got white red I know I have some more here there we go white and red I'm actually moving myself off the table it'll shrink when you sew it but let me go let me get that on there there we are okay so you're just going to sew that row together then you're going to sew the next row and the next row is going to be the same thing you want to put your mix up all your prints so they're all different and when you um you'll see that when you get them lined up they just match up perfectly and then this one of course you're going to stay with the white row a red and one more white oh we want a different one so once you start your layout you'll want to make sure you go ahead and lay out the whole thing just lay your whole flag out you want to make sure that your colors are mixed up well and everything is right where it's supposed to be and then you'll start sewing your rows together and then you'll sew you'll sew these each row individually together and then you're going to sew the rows together um vertically so they'll all go together so you're just sewing straight seams when you get your middle flag all together you're going to trim your toop off straight right here and your bottom the sides will already be straight so you're just going to go ahead and trim this off you'll need about a half a yard for your border um of whatever color that you like to frame it up but but it will sit on there nice and straight if you go ahead and trim those off this is a great little project for all your patriotic activities and we hope you enjoyed this tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company
