We had quite the ordeal this morning to get into the room we here we were sewing. None of us had the correct key code and that took about an  hour to resolve. We eventually got in the room and got back to sewing.

We stayed long enough for me to finish this top. This one is 100% scraps. I designed this one specifically to use a stack of anvil blocks that I cut out over the past few years. I’m happy enough with the way it turned out and it does look better IRL.

I don’t think I’d make this one again. It wasn’t all that much fun to sew.

Do you know what was fun? Using my new Necchi C32e sewing machine. It’s a sweet little machine and I love it!

Now I’m on task to quilt up the 14 veterans tops before the end of the month. That includes this one.

    This one is really hard to pick out the block. I’m glad you showed it previously.

    I’m glad to hear there is a good replacement machine if my Pfaff dies. There is a Necchi dealer about 30 miles from me but from their website I can’t tell if they have the machines in stock or just order for you.
