Quilt Notes: TUMBLERS was offered by Nancy Cabot (Loretta Leitner Rising) in her column in the Chicago Daily Tribune, December 34, 1934, where she dates its first appearance in quiltdom as New Hampshire, 1848. As an all-over quilt design, every block is a pieced block, repeating the same tumbler shape. This version with variations, is illustrated in the QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY by Rhoda Ochser Goldberg, Crown Publishers, 1988. For more kitchenware quilt blocks, see SALAD BOWL and TEA LEAF.
