I got it quilted at the quilt shop, but put the binding on with the treadle. No, no hand sewing - that would take me forever. Slowly but surely I'm building up towards making quilts entirely at home.
Very pretty quilt! I agree that long strips are ideal for treadle quilts. This is a cute way to use the long strips. Also great for a quilt made from scraps.
