I finished this quilt this week, using 4 machines. A Singer 201k, Pfaff 60, White Rotary treadles and quilting done with the modern Pfaff QE 4.2.
Its a string quilt with a piano key border. I was given twelve 12" string blocks pieced onto a heavier muslin, using 1/2" seam allowances; it made the top very heavy. So I had to make piano key borders to balance the weight. It will go to a Wounded Warrior at Fort Hood army base, Killeen,Texas.

[QUOTE=earthwalker;7471070]Beautiful, string quilts can be awkward to quilt, the seam allowances would have made it quite tricky. Beautiful.
I quilted my string quilt in a 3" diagonal grid, it made it easier to quilt.
