I started this quilt in November of 2012 and finally hand stitched the last of the binding to the backside today. It is about 75 X 100. The braid side went together very quickly and initially was intended to be the front. The back side was pieced using inherited fabrics from mom’s estate. That side was a challenge and I never knew what design I would end up with. Most of mom’s fabric was pre-cut into inaccurate 3” squares and I used EQ7 to design as I sewed.

I used five machines to make this; 3 treadles, 1 vintage, and one modern computerized:
1) A Singer 66 treadle to do all of the piecing

2) Singer 115 treadle to do the perforating of the freezer paper for the paper piecing process on those two flannel borders

3) Singer 403A vintage electric to baste the bias outside edge of the braid side upon its completion. I didn’t want those edges to stretch as I worked with that pieced top

4) Bernina 440QE computerized machine with the BSR to do the quilting (no pics of my 440)
5) Davis NVF treadle to attach the binding
