Trio of Coins

I pulled out some jelly rolls I've been hoarding along with some extra Kona cotton I found lying around and I think I'm going to make a coin quilt.  I've seen several patterns and examples and love the design.

This group is Jenean Morrisson Picnic Parade fabric collection from Westminster.  I think I'll use these to make Sister#1 a coin quilt.  I still need to pick out binding and backing fabric.

This is Moda's Swanky.  This is for Sister#2's coin quilt.

Last but not least is Moda's Sorbet.  This is for Sister#3's coin quilt.

Actually, I think I'll sew the strips together and start working on the coins before deciding which quilts and Sisters belong together.

I've been practicing my zigzag stitching (practice scrap fabric above) for my daughter's quilt I blogged about here.  I actually sewed three diamonds onto the backing fabric.  It wasn't as hard as I thought moving all that fabric around.  Of course, I started on the blocks near the edges....we'll see how it goes as I move closer to the center.

This last picture is for Amy at A Commonplace Life.  You will notice that I did not zoom in on this picture in order to avoid the messiness.  Trust me it's not the best example of messiness I could come up with...stay tuned...there will be more to come.  You really need to check out Amy's blog here and here where she talks about being authentic when blogging.  After receiving numerous encouraging responses, she started a group called Moments challenging us to share all the moments of the day not just the "perfect" ones.  I encourage you to head over and read her comments.  She makes some very profound and interesting points and does so much more eloquently than I.

Have an amazing day!!!!
