Thank you! I did not use a pattern. I found sewing related blocks from books or blogs. The blocks are 6.5" on the right and left sides. The large rectangles with the words are 18.5" x 6.5". The center block with the machine is 18.5 x 18.5". The border is 3.5". The quilt measures 36" square.

Someone posted the link to the tutorial on how to make the sewing machine applique a few pages back. You could always use one type fabric vs doing the patchwork to speed thing along.

Great wall hanging - your sewing machine and button jar are really creative!

Book title with patterns?

To find the large center sewing machine template, try googling "Ellison Lane Quilts. There is a tutorial on her blog and a template for the sewing machine.
I hope this helps. Stay tuned.

The book that my friend let me borrow was a paper piecing book published from Better Homes and Garden.
She said it was very old. She could not find the book to confirm the title. On the pincushion block pattern I enlarged was a page number and the words: "Sewing Collections".

I hope you have fun choosing sewing/quilting related blocks for your wall-hanging. Also, it helps to find sewing theme fabric so you can fussy cut out bobbins, thread spools etc. Have fun creating!
