Mrs. Sew and Sew
I just finished a quilt top using a material line called Mrs. Sew and Sew. It features 6 different old time sewing machines in big blocks. Finding a pattern to put around the edges and not detract from the sewing machines was the most difficult task on the whole top piece. I decided on a flying geese pattern in dark and light shades so that each block looks like a big pinwheel. The quilt is 45'' x 73". I placed the big blocks 3 abreast, with 2 rows. The panels were 6'' strips on top, bottom, sides and in the middle. The corner blocks I used a Dresden 6 blade fan with all of the material used in each block. Working on the back now.
