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.

She is my favorite treadle machine followed by the Singers 15-90 and 66-1.

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?

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!!!!!
