Well I'm stuck. No idea where to go now not helped by that I can't upload a photo for ideas.
The quilt is now 63ins x 60ins.
It needs and extra row or to 2 to lengthen it so it is about 72ins long. I have fabric in short lengths mostly about 5 ins wide but as it is scrappy abd none of the 'scraps are consistent in size

I'll have another attempt at uploading a photo.

I noticed that too, @BrendaP

It was plainly crochet-made but to call it something other than lace is a bit nit-picky to me.  If she'd made the point that it wasn't bobbin lace, which, to be fair, most people think of when they think of heritage lace, it might have made more sense.

Still, she had a lot more patience than I could have shown in the face of a challenge like that :-)

I don't normally give names to machines but I think she has to be Pearl (with your permission @Pearl !).

She looks lovely and in great condition,  the label on her says she is a 201K so maybe not the lightweight version
