Then my 12 yr old DGNephew decided he wanted to make one also. So while DGNiece was quilting hers he started his on the 64 FW, he managed to get the top done and the sandwich made before they left so I'll quilt it for him. I gave them the 1964 FW to take home and some more projects and books and tools of the trade.
They both did a fine job on them and I had bought a lg flat rate box of 4' sq's from a lady on the board so they picked from that the prints and then choose the solid and borders and backing they wanted.

So here are the pictures. I'm so proud of them.

Awesome! That they made their own quilts with vintage machines!!! They did an excellent job! I love that you gave them the one FW for them to make more quilts. They should also looked for a larger vintage Singer off CL to use for their quilting. Looking forward to seeing other quilts that they make.
