This was my first attempt at a quilt with blocks of any other shape besides squares. The pattern is called "tumblers" because they are shaped like a tumbler/drinking glass. I suppose you could call it "trapezoids" if you wanted. You can make them short and wide or tall and skinny. Mine were, if I remember correctly, 6 inches at the wide end and 4 inches at the narrow end. I tacked my indimidation about using a rotary cutter and now realize how lame that was. It is really not that hard.
This is a close up shot of the quilting. I wish I could say that I quilted it with painstaking detail as I watched TV at night. However, that is not the case. My grandmother, Phyllis, has a machine with a long arm intended for quilting so I sent it to her in the mail and she probably quilted this whole thing in 30 minutes or less. She's kind of a pro!
