This is Garlic Knot.  BH had it in one of th Quilt Maker Magazines.  I didn't start it until early fall.  This was my just sit a sew  project between school and work.   Everything was cut from previous projects, I just had to supplement some of the backgrounds.   

  The border was done in gray.   I was going to do the quilt wit the gray background but wasn't working for me.  Someone suggesested taht I ues the gray blocks as the border, which worked really good.

 The quilting was a struggle, then the circles just happened and looked good with the quilt.
The back is flannel.  you can see the early attempts of what I was going to do the quilting in.

The other machine was a black 1956-1959 singer,  case and box had seen better days,  didn't even look look at it, the featherweight was plugged up, moter ran, machine was dirty, needed some work, something I could attempt to fix.....decided to think about it.      DS (dear sister) was called/faebooked for consultation.... She was appauled that I even wanted to think about it !!!!   So wit

I'm All Done with step #2 !!!!!  Only had to take apart 6 .......Not too bad.   I used method 3.  It made more sense to me, esp with working night shift,  I didn't have to think too hard :)                            I got my fetherweight to working (Thanks to folks on Vintage Sewing Machines on Facebook )                    Steps 1 & 2 done AND ironed..
