Perfect! Your center is absolutely perfect. I love the retro fabrics - it just feels like that's what makes a quilt. E.

Thanks, Jean. It was the best $25 I ever spent when I brought home that 1915 White Rotary treadle machine. She is perfect for piecing quilts. And now that I finally figured out how to properly wind a bobbin on her (the manuals from that era are rather vague) I love her even more.
