"WOW ...... remarkable. I LOVE scrappies.... but I truly can't imagine sewing over 6000+ teeny tiny squares.... that's fantastic. And you're sooooo right.... nothing goes to waste!! He's the ultimate GREEN machine. :thumbup: Pretty, too.... a extra Bonus !!

I would thread his bobbins! Lucky you! My husband could fix my machine but he would never have sewn anything but he was an excellent cook and he loved to grocery shop!

This is a closeup of the king size top that contains 6,966 pieces.
Oh My! That is just awesome!

His perseverance is amazing, bravo, gorgeous top. Does he make long strips and then sew them together?
