Nancy,
Betty looks dang good for 120 years! I do hope you get her working because from what I read vertical feed machines are wonderful for bindings and working with flannels.

I'm using up my scraps, the leftovers of the leftover Christmas fabrics. I made different columns using strips of scraps and then cut triangles from the columns. Sewed the triangles together to from a star. I'm making it up as I go along.

Very pretty I really like what you did. Did you sew the pieces together then cut the triangle. Maybe that's what you said but I am still new to making quilts.

I won't get a lot of time to play with Betty until after Christmas. I am trying to finish and bind three quilts for grandkids. One is done, one is on my Long Arm, one is ready for the long arm, one is still being pieced! Yikes! I am starting to panic!

Vintagemotif, that table topper is gorgeous! Did you piece and machine quilt the whole thing on your treadle? Is it a gift, or are you going to keep this one!
Nancy
Nancy, I keep rotating them on my dinning room table trying to figure out which family member is going to get which quilt. I'm enjoying them, but I'm now having a hard time deciding who is going to get what quilt. Yes, I will be keeping one. I may have my husband pick that one.
