Tumbler quilts are pretty easy, I made 2 of them recently - with extra rows of applique - one horses, one chicken - and you don't need a tool or special anything to make the shape other than a straight edge and rotary cutter. Buy a charm pack (5 inch squares). Put them on your cutting board, lined up with the squares on the mat. Put a ruler at the bottom right and measure in 1.5 inches from the top right. Cut that slice off. Do the same for the left - cut in 1.5 going down to bottom left. Voila! Tumblers. Sew one upside down to one right side up. You could do this with any measurement, really, whatever you like, as long as you're consistent with each cut of each block.
Spent the last half hour cleaning out the turkey's auxiliary nest. It had 42 rotting eggs in it, more feces than I could imagine, and a bunch of crushed egg innards. It smelled... amazingly awful. It filled an entire kitchen garbage bag. I'm waiting for her to get off her main nest because that one has to be worse. The coop at least smells better with one rotting nest out of it.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with her, I think I need to buy chicks. I think she's been broody since September? She's still nasty.
