Your DH is right, your older Singer is very well made, not like the newer plastic machines.
I have a very old Singer in a nice wood cabinet, that has the foot pedal to operate it, still works too!

@ECBG , I am in Nova Scotia, east coast of Canada. But!!! I do love the Carolinas. Isn't that where she is? Love Hilton Head. Been three times in the last ten years. I am going to have to go back and look at her location again. LM

@ECBG , what an interesting and amazing background. You would laugh to see me around a sewing machine. My grandmother raised her family during the depression. She was a tailor. She made men's suits. My mother used to tell me that her dream was to have a dress from the catalogue, not a home made one. Maybe if I started at the sewing machine earlier I would be better. Practice makes perfect. The more I quilt, the better I quilt. LM

@Lilysmom - very pretty. You said you don't use the sewing machine. Do you piece by hand as well? Oy, I'm going to stand up and cheer for you. I'm a machine piecer/quilter. I did hand quilt something once - maybe a pillow?

King size quilts are quite a lot to handle if you don't use them on a bed, so I vote for the two smaller.
And just in case you have too many, you can send one my way! That is going to be beautiful!

@riley1, I do all of the quilting by hand including the binding/border. I don't do the piecing myself. I hate that job. The only time I use the sewing machine is if I have to rework the top. A seamstress I am not.
We get a solid five months of winter so it is nice to have an inside project. I usually get the wood stove going and listen to talk radio as I quilt. I find it very relaxing...after I get my fingers toughened up😊. LM
