Well this was a fun finish!
It took 50 different fabrics. Some hours... One day I should actually track how long things take me. And a whole lot of fun. It has been a long time since I had this much fun sewing.
Making this quilt really just started with an idea. I wanted to simply see if it would work. One block led to another and another and then there were 25. I played around with different sizes of the final block. I started with 12.5'' squares but the sewing machine got lost in it. Now each block finishes at 10.5'' square. It is a great size now and makes a much easier cutting job.
Now I want to play with this concept a bit more. This includes working on some different sizes and a precision pieced option. And, I think a new pattern may emerge from this. What do you think?
It's amazing to be so excited again.

Sew much fun!!!!
What a great quilt! Wall hanging for your studio, perhaps?
oh, that is fantastic patchwork! I love that each machine is different :)
Hurray! It's a lovely backdrop for your studio. I'm glad it inspired you and imaking it gave you so much joy.
Love is all I can say.
Just love it. Yes, a pattern is a great idea. This is so fun.
I really like this one. My favorite blocks are the ones where the base of the machine extends to the right a bit, making it look less like a curly q and more like a sewing machine.
It is fun! I love looking at it! I am thinking it would make a wonderful border as well. Cool!
This is awesome Cheryl! Your idea has grown into a wonderful quilt... so fun! I love how each one is a little bit different, just like our sewing machines are all unique!
This is such a fun concept, I think a pattern is a great idea.
It is a fun quilt and you are right to be excited. If you wanted to make it the first of a series (sort of), did you notice how it resembles the basics of a Greek key design? Is there a way you could riff on that, especially improvisationally?
