Creating a Quilt Top on a Treadle Machine



Today I'm going to treadle quilt blocks
on my treadle sewing machine. I LOVE using these old machines - this one just purrs like a little kitten. 

I'm using up a lot of my scraps in this quilt. I've got my scraps cut into 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and 2 inch strips and then I sew them onto an old phone book page. Why the phone book page?  It adds stabilization as I sew and is easily removed afterwards.
