    Some Coins

    Sep 23, 2014

    I haven’t made a coin quilt since 2008!  It’s the pattern that got me truly stuck on quilting.
    Back then I had 1 baby that slept most of the day…now I have 3 big babies and I want to sleep most the day!  Crazy how fast time flies.
    I went with a semi-fall palette for this one.  I sewed it together randomly without looking at placement at all…and it’s funny how many of the same fabrics ended up right next to each other…oh well.  :)

      Your hands are certainly full with 3 little ones but I can imagine the joy that they bring.I do like this pattern, brain into gear thinking I have a cot quilt to make for a great niece or nephew due any day now (the first cot quilt I have attempted) and think this would be nice to do in assorted kids fabrics, please can you share the sizes of the strips will look on line but not too at at this computer business

      I took a coin quilt class from Gwen Marston YEARS ago...and she had us place the coins in a paper bag so that we could pull the coins out blindly. The only decision we were allowed to make was which end of the strip to sew it to. It was so freeing!! My very first introduction to 'it's OK to break the rules' ever since that class I have always loved coin quilts. Good job you. :)

      "... Oh well .... " I love your attitude. No sense in sweating the small stuff. A quick finish is so satisfying!

      So you cut all the "coins" and then sewed them together randomly one row at a time?
      I read the other comments, I LOVE Gwen Marston and I LOVE the rules she made for her class. I'm thinking I might be ready to make a quilt using just those rules.
      What are the dimensions of the coins in this quilt, please?

      It's wonderful! I've never made one. I love your piece about wanting to sleep all day. When you get to 66 you will want that kids' energy and not be able to find it!! Thanks for the reminder to make this pattern!

      Beautiful quilt too! Even when I pay attention to where the colors are I *always* end up with the same one side by side at least once, lol!!!! I think it looks gorgeous and unique!

      The "coins" are 3" x 5 1/2" for those that asked! :)

      I love how those C+S prints (especially the purple) drew my eyes diagonally down the quilt. Usually coin quilts don't do that for me. Very nice!

      Such a pretty quilt - lovely colours, proper Autumnal late summer - you've captured it all. I made a huge quilt last year and had to divide up 16-square blocks to put it together and I was amazed how many time I repeated bits entirely by accident. Some fabrics must just love each other! Well done, you certainly have your hands full. I wasn't quilting when our 3 were babies - now they're big babies (all in their 20's) - happy days!
