Jean~so impressed with your lovely quilt and especially the FMQ on it! You need to do a Youtube so that I can learn!
Been piecing on my Singer 27 a bit and practicing the starting and stopping while adding sashing to some blocks. I still have to remind myself to stop with my hand on the wheel instead of on the treadle but it's happening more and more!
I also have my boxes of "free quilt" parts that I use for sew on and sew off pieces...I think some call them a bonus quilt because you make it as you work on different projects. This one is called Best Friends
here's a link to an example

I am doing it with bunches of 1.5 inch squares, 1.5 x2.5 inch rectangles and 4.5 inch squares...I really need more dark-darks as I seem to have tons of meds in my stash or brights...
It will probably take me years but that's OK as it is all scraps from myself and others
