I finally finished up the binding on my Chinese coin quilt today so thought I’d post a picture. The quilt looks a bit washed out. I’d thought that photographing it in the sun outside wo…

Chinese Coins 78 by 90 inches. 3510 pieces--1755 prints/plaids, 1755 solid blue. I have been enjoying the process of making this quilt. It was inspired by Lori's Juniper Flats quilt on her Humble Quilts blog. My pieces are cut 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, like hers. I decided to use a constant, Kona's Candy Blue between the coins. The fabrics are from my bin of scraps cut this size, plus pieces I cut from my mother's scraps which include fabrics from both of my grandmothers. I also added some…

Since agreeing to give a short demonstration on Chinese Coins that date looms ever larger in my mind. Several of my Coin quilts were gifted away while others are tops at best {and some are just ideas in my brain.} It didn't seem right to have only photos to show; I need to finish {and keep} some. And I need to create a simple-yet-interesting Coin top to start them off. How to best explain this process to new quilters is another issue. What process? As my sister aptly noted, I just pull…
