I found the perfect fabric , then a pattern ( Thank you for all the help everyone). I had never attempted curves before :-o but I think I can live with this. It lays flat and no ripples or puckering.
It is not perfect, But it is mine. This quilt is going to be that much more special to me because I am using the featherweight my grandfather gave me ( It was his mom's) to piece it all together. The Blocks will alternate colors.. I am so excited that this worked out .


:-D

That's a pretty piece with Great color choices !! Keep up the good work :)

It's very pretty. I know you'll feel so special using your great grandmother's machine. Now that's a special machine!

Love the block and that your grandfather gave you his mother's FW- ohhh that is soooooooo nice!! :D
Enjoy your treasured FW :D

I have had the featherweight for about 15 years and until being on this board I never used it but after reading about everyone using theirs I am so glad I decided to .. It sews great!

I'm encouraged that you find the curves doable and even easy. I am a curve-o-phobe. Guess I need to tackle that.
Congrats, I'm glad it's going so well.

YEAH Happy dancing for you!! Great job on the curves I cannot wait to see the quilt!

Dmart- I didn't even KNOW what a featherweight was until I joined the board. I got one and it sews like a dream!! :D

I love your block, it makes it even more special knowing what machine you are piecing these with :D:D:D

Very nice! I can't wait to see it done! How lucky you are to have a featherweight that was in your family. I remember my grandmother having a treadle machine, but no one remembers where it went when she died. I was about 10 years old at the time and had no interest in sewing.
