I am making an old fashioned sewing machine quilt. the blocks are from a panel; i cut them apart, repositioned them, and added sashing. the sashing consists of three half inch strips (finished size) sewn together, with cornerstones added. this central section measures 27" x 40". now to make some scrappy 3d flying geese for the next border. I finally had time to put the binding on the old fashioned sewing machine quilt today. it measures 36.5" x 50". it is made from a panel by rosiland solomon called 'a stitch in time'. i will hang it somewhere in the upstairs landing outside my quilting studio, using a decorative oak quilt hanger my brother gave me a few years ago.
Quilting the top border and the first row of the old fashioned sewing machine quilt. i'm about a third done with the quilting. i also threw in a couple of sunset photos and a picture of old fashioned roses blooming in my gardens.

I love, love, love this quilt! the old fashioned, scrappy ones are my favorites, and this one really fits that bill. i've heard this particular pattern called many trips around the world. i made a trip around the world (using 30s repro fabs) that began in the center and continued with concentric trips to the outer edge of the quilt. The first crazy quilt enthusiasts in victorian times quickly became experts at using odd fabric scraps to create beautiful and useful works of art. today, crazy quilting is still the ideal way to re purpose old fabric and trimmings. not only is this quilting method tremendous fun, but it fits in wonderfully well with a frugal or green lifestyle.
