Chinese Coins is one of the fastest, easiest and brightest quilts that I remember making. It was fun watching the bright colors come together in this “rain forest” labeled as Seattle. Not complaining – just sometimes a bright spot is fun. The rust color panels are a solid panel so that went rapidly. This quilt measures 51 x 70 because I wanted to add a bit of rust color to the coin stacks. I used Babylock’s love of Sewing with Pat Sloan’s lap quilt pattern. Her jelly roll had much more variety than the one I had on hand which is why I add the rust.
And these are the better storage units – already full as I just transferred the contents from the units falling apart.
I like this quilt! Yellow has to be one of those colors we in the great PNW start craving this time of year. I will be on the watch for a shades of yellow and blue jelly roll so I can make one. Thanks for the inspiration!
That’s a beautiful quilt – perfect to brighten anyone’s day! We sure could use that here in s. w. Ontario – it’s been drizzly / foggy / rainy for the past 4 days, and next week’s forecast promises more of the same…
