My neighbor's son has achieved his Eagle Scout level, and his awards ceremony is next week. As a present to him for his excellent achievement, I made him a quilt with the Boy Scout fabrics from the Robert Kaufman line. I always use some type of decorative stitching to finish off my bindings; so, I picked the arrowhead for his quilt. All of my work (piecing, quilting, and binding) was done on vintage sewing machines that are all in treadles.

It was a fun project with all my vintage machines at work!
I can't wait to tell him that a couple of ninety year old machines help create this quilt.

It was the second time for me working with the Kaufman fabrics. First time was the Bali Pops that I used in my half-hexi quilt that I post on QB. I do like working with the Kaufman fabrics too!

I am proud to say that my son also achieved his Eagle Scout Rank and wish this fabric was around at that time.

It is a beautiful quilt and I know it will be much appreciated.

What a unique guilt. The young man will really enjoy it.

I love the quilt.
What a blessing and a loving gesture.
Love the arrowhead stitches.
Did you use a top hat cam for those stitches?

Blessings,
Sandi
