Finally finished my scrappy quilt. Front side is a modified Jacob's Ladder and back side is the pixel heart. I pieced on my Two Spools, quilted with the Davis NVF, attached binding with Davis NVF, and finished off binding with decorative stitching using my Singer 328k in treadle.

Monica I love that quilt!! Great work.

I tested a quilt as you go technique that was extremely easy to follow.[ATTACH=CONFIG]291009[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]291010[/ATTACH]

Love the baseball theme....my DH made a Dodger's themed quilt for a friend of ours baby, and now I have tons of baseball fabs in our stash!! My DH doesn't just buy what he needs for a quilt...he buys whatever he can find in the theme he's going to do, and then decides which ones to use. So....my cup runneth over with sports and cars themed fabrics!! LOL

I made this quilt for the lady who practically gave me a Kenmore over the weekend. I did FMQ it on my vintage Monarch 15 Clone, so it is somewhat vintage related. The lady's daughter is having a baby Wednesday, and wanted a black, pink, and zebra quilt. I will deliver it to her tomorrow.[ATTACH=CONFIG]283634[/ATTACH]

Cute quilt, Melinda. I love that pattern....I use the D9P a lot because it looks so different depending on the fabrics.

Thank you! Yes that's the 201. The quietest and smoothest sewing machine that I own.

The 201 is a very quiet machine, it amazed me just how silent it is. I was unfairly judging the other machines by her.
She is my favorite treadle machine followed by the Singers 15-90 and 66-1.

Sew nest to the diagonal mark on each side of the mark 1/4 in.
Cut right down the diagonal mark of each square
You should have a total of 8 squares?
I think you can make the little square the place to start or not - it would be up to you.
I believe I would want them all the same no matter what.
It seems like it would be fancy without a lot of work.
I wonder if it would have to be squared up later?

I actually think they called this Next Generation Disappearing 9 Patch...or something similar. I saw it on the Board somewhere. Don't quote me on that name...it's that or something similar.

Have you posted your husband's quilt? I would love to see that. You could to an "I Spy" quilt with all the sports fabrics.

Sharon, I have to ask, Is that cotton shoved into that wall hole? You need to make a pretty small quilt to cover that hole.

I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan, I made myself a "Big Shirt"(Cindy Taylor-Oates pattern) from LA Dodgers fabric. Sorry I don't have a picture of it, I was much larger then...have erased all those embarrassing pictures.

I'll put a wall hanging over that hole, made by my then teenage DS; its got batting stuffed in it. It used be his bedroom, now houses my treadle machines.

Since I got my Singer 301 I make all my quilts on it, just seems like they turn out so pretty and don't seem to have the problems that I had before I got her. That gentle purr just makies me want to sew and sew!! I have 4 other sewing machines but "Agie Pearl" is my "go to" girl. I think my mom, (her name was Agnes Pearl) who was a fabulous sewer/quilter is watching over me and Agie. Thanks mom!!!!!
