Working on Tumbler Scrap Quilt!

Since posting my scrap management series, I have felt like working on my tumbler quilt again since my bag of cut tumblers is quiet full.  I looked at it and decided to add to the width.  Also my tumbler quilt was started on my Singer (15K) hand crank sewing machine.  So I got her out of her case and gave her a good oil.  Here she is! The blue tape on the bed is for a 1/4" seam allowance.  She is a beauty and works well - skips a stitch here and there but nothing to worry me.  I string piece the tumblers on the Singer.  I put the rows together on my Bernina.
Here is a pile of tumblers in front of the machine waiting to be string pieced.
I need to add rows of 18 tumblers to each existing row in the quilt to make the width as wide as I would like it.  Here is a box with rows added.
 I worked on adding the rows yesterday and am halfway done before I start adding full width rows.  I just love how colorful this quilt is going to be.
