WOW, how beautiful, I love the red on the cabinets, I love red, I think I need to change the counters on mine, your grandson did a fabulous job, I love the floor and tiles.

Yes. I drew the blocks, thirteen of them, and he devised them in tile. It was amazing to watch.

Wow it is gorgeous

The tile came from Home Depot. They are 16 inch tiles and I picked three colors that would work with the background flooring for the "quilt blocks". I tried to keep the blocks fairly simple but he did do a "Hayes Corner" for me and a couple of others that must have been challenging to cut in tile.

OMG - A quilters DREAM!!! You are one lucky lady to have this big a room for your quilting (& a nice grandson to help you get it this beautiful. It is FABULOUS. I'll bet nearly every quilter on this board will be envious.

Love the tile, where did you purchase it - does it have a name? - I'm shopping now for tile to re-do a room

Have a blessed week end :thumbup:

Boy am I jealous of that room and the grandson. I do not have any living close enough to help me do anything. Of course jI only have 4 grandsons out of 24 grandchildren so my girls help a lot.
