    Janice; Beautiful quilt. The quiltmaker loks pretty good too. One of these days, I will remember to take pictures before gifting and post them here. I use my 301A almosty exclusively for piecing and quilting.

It is for my friend's daughter for graduation from high school. She loves all things red, and has a liking for triangles. :-) It's from the mom & dad...I was just the maker!!
    Janice what do you mean it is from "the Mom and Dad" you were just the 'Maker!' Geeze, so they bought the fabric (I assume that is the case) . . . you did all the work! Beautiful work too!

    Yes, they did buy the fabrics, and I did supply the "making". LOL Thanks for the thumbs up, Chris & Nancy!!

    Muv, that is a really wonderful banner you made.
    Bennett, those are such cute fishy quilts!! Love the colors!

    Muv, great free motion quilting. Bennett, I love the fishes. Is there a pattern? I'd love to try that with scraps for my charity quilts. Jljack, great job!! 301's are going to go up and up in value, IMO. They're awesome machines.

    Jljack, I love the red! Are the middle squares a pattern fabric or pieced? I want to pull out my 301 and put her through her paces on one of my days off this week.

    Candace, no pattern except my scratchings on graph paper, square-in-square calculator, and a little trial and error. I was inspired by the picture here: fish inspiration.

    Candace, yes, it's in one of the quilting magazines. I'll find it and PM the info to you. Beware...it took many many hours making 2" HSTs!! :-)

    Bennett, the large squares are cut from a toile style print. Surprisingly the blocks have the strips of small HSTs diagonally across the block and then triangles of the toile fabric sewn on each side to make a square. When these are sewn together you get what appears to be large solid squares between the Xs of HSTs, but it's not how it is.

    I use Triangulations for all my HST's and they come out perfect:> And it allows me to do them on all my vintage machines.

    Default Jelly roll quilt top

    This was my jelly roll race quilt top. I pieced it on my 301 and did the applique on my 500. They both sew beautifully. I will finish it somehow and donate it to the local VA. Thought it turned out pretty good.
