There is no quick piecing done, the vintage straight stitch machines are wonderful for piecing triangles, no zig zig hole to eat the points. The binding was sewn on with my older Pfaff 1222E, about 1978 vintage. It belongs to my son, he loves his new quilt.
This weekend it won a 3rd place ribbon at The Chisholm Trail quilt show, in Round Rock,Texas. My first ribbon ever!
