It feels great to have it finished. It seemed like I worked on it forever.
A total of 30 blocks and a little over 1200 pieces, which really isn't a whole lot when you are talking about a whole quilt. I know a few of the seems look a little crooked in the photo below but they are not, there is a big picture hanging on the wall behind it and it makes the quilt crooked. :)
This was a great use of scraps and strings of all sizes. It was completely pieced on my "baby girl" my 1933 Featherweight! I love her more than ever now. This was my first complete quilt that I have pieced with her and she did a wonderful job. I hope to do more sewing on her soon.
It is only 8:35am so I think I will clean the house up and load a quilt on the frame....
Oh BTW...I think a lot of you have already noticed that I have a tab at the top of my blog that takes you to all of my vintage machines. Well, it's not like I have a ton of them but I am just starting. I noticed this morning that I don't have my featherweight on there yet, I'll have to do that sometime today.

Your top looks great!! Congratulations!!
Wow, you are catching Bonnie Hunter with all those machines. LOL
I love this top! I have thought I wanted to make one and now can 'see' how to do it.
And to me it seems like you just zipped that quilt top out in no time. LOL. It's gorgeous Kristie. Did your pile of strings get any smaller?
Your quilt top looks great. It always feels good to finish one - at least to that point. I was crusing blogs the other day and someone else collects vintage machines- made me think about yours
I echo Karin's comment. It seems like that top came together so quickly! And it is so beautifully rustic looking to me--the scrappiness and the colors. I love it, Kristie!
I'm off to take a look at your machines. : )
This quilt top is GORgeous---I absolutely love the scrappiness of it. :) And that is a sweeeeet little machine. :)

Quilt looks great, Kristie! YAY Hunter! I'd love to hear him sing!
Scrap quilts are my favorites and this one is spectacular! Congrats on the finish!
It looks fabulous! I love scrap quilts.
That is a gorgeous quilt top! A friend of mine just made that exact top out of bright batiks and it looks like a completely different pattern. Your top is so tranquil! Love it!
