I also made this one on my 1906 Singer 27.

I finished this quilt this week, using 4 machines. A Singer 201k, Pfaff 60, White Rotary treadles and quilting done with the modern Pfaff QE 4.2.

Its a string quilt with a piano key border. I was given twelve 12" string blocks pieced onto a heavier muslin, using 1/2" seam allowances; it made the top very heavy. So I had to make piano key borders to balance the weight. It will go to a Wounded Warrior at Fort Hood army base, Killeen,Texas.

Very nice and I am sure a veteran would love it. The right colors too!

Beautiful, string quilts can be awkward to quilt, the seam allowances would have made it quite tricky. Beautiful.

I quilted my string quilt in a 3" diagonal grid, it made it easier to quilt.

It's a very lovely quilt Sharon. It's too bad you live so far away or I'd ask you to bring it to the get together we're having up here on March 13th.

Here is my latest quit top. I did this while the weather was so snowy. I used two 301 machines. All I need to do now is quilt it.

Beautiful quilt Crosssticher- cheddar, cranberries and creamcheese! I have and use both of my 301's too, they can't be beat. Love to see all of the quilts made on these vintage machines.
