A version of Not My Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks

This quilt was made by a customer. I don't know if it was a definate pattern but I recognize the technique as being the "Not My Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks". It was a fun one to do and I had a ball playing with my new longarm! The colors are actually chocolate brown for the backing and some of the rectangles and cream/gold/two browns for the blocks. The thread is a varigated cream/gold/brown. (CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE)

My new longarm!

Yes, I got a new longarm!!!! It's an HandiQuilter Avante with a 12 foot table! I can now do king size quilts! No computer!!! So now everything will be freemotion --- ALMOST like handquilting!!! LOL We spent the weekend re-doing the storage room....expanded to make room for the quilter and put in new flooring. When the weather warms up, I'll be painting the room......it's my very own "woman cave" :)
