I already had most of the 2.5 x 6" rectangles cut for a different (annoying and not going well) project. I decided to abandon that one, and put them to good use here. I think one of my favorite parts is using the sashing fabric for some of the coins-- it breaks it up nicely. I wouldn't call this a scrap quilt or a stash quilt-- I'd be more inclined to call it a fat quarter quilt, as that's where most of these fabrics came from. I'll take more pictures once it's bound and washed.

Patricia
Here's the coin quilt I'm making for Patricia, my aerobics friend:
All I need to do is hand-stitch the binding to the back, wash it, and clip the loose threads. I stippled it this afternoon, which didn't take too long. Here's the back:
It's half brown and half pink, with a pieced center strip.

I really hope Patricia likes it!

I'm sure she'll love it ... unless she has absolutely no taste whatsoever.
