Forties Flowers

This super size king quilt is the largest quilt to date that I have loaded on my frame.  At 120 x 125, this quilt included beautiful applique, terrific piece work and charming retro fabric in soft colors.  I quilted an all over pattern that was similar to the applique flowers and tied the quilting, applique and piecing all together.  I traded the work for an antique singer treadle cabinet for my treadle machine and I think I got the best end of the trade.  I got to quilt this beautiful project, have my treadle set up in my living room and I didn’t have to bind this quilt by hand!
