Completed Coin Quilt

Hiya all,

I finished this over the weekend and as usual had fun with the photography. I must get the older camera sorted that takes much higher quality photos.

The pictures don't do it justice... maybe some more when it is washed and about to be delivered to the new owner...

Hanging from the Dinning room window...

Yes there was a change in plan for the binding... alas I could not bring myself to plain!!! We don't do plain!!!

Nareda's Coin Quilt - Ready to quilt

Have to say that I am surprised that this project has gone as quickly as it has – now I could understand it if I had the trusty sewing machine going and was zipping it together with that - alas I had a sewing disaster and decided that it was the machine - not the operator (we all know that is wrong) so I hand sewed this Quilt top. I started sewing this just over 2 weeks ago and have now completed the top and joined the backing as well.

The size is 72 inches x 76 inches.

In this photo it is only just 'blog' ready. was missing the boarders and a row - but I think you will get the picture of what it is - yes I am very pleased with the result.



So it is off to get the wadding and the binding fabric during the week... and back to Hexagons...

Nareda's Coin Quilt - Ready to sew

Not withstanding the fact that Melbourne had the hottest day (CBD was 46.4º C - and much hotter in the burbs where I live easily add a degree or two) since they began recording and keeping records. NOW fellow bloggers and readers ~ this could just be a normal spike in the weather pattern and not the end of the world... alas that is a story and yarn for other places and experts.

Bright and colourful of cause ~ masses of Liberty fabric... 26 different fabrics... hmmm might see about some more from the stash...

ALL of that aside I have managed to plan and draw the quilt in Illustrator to same size then cut out all the Coins and White backgrounds. There are even some nice scraps for the Hexagon Quilt that is now going to get bigger...



I have reserved 73 inches of the white for the rails and boarder. You can also see the pattern, which I have recorded the details of how much is required to make the top. To date there are 90 coloured pieces cut and 86 white pieces cut... in all I need 86/85 respectively. So there are a few extras.

In the supper sized world we live in this is for a single bed - but should have a finished size of 75x72 inches...
