Stacked Coins times Two (2)

I continue with Scrap Quilts ...... love love love making them. Of course, a quilter never ever runs out of scraps. he he he

I love making scrap quilts .... for some reason they always remind me of my grandmothers .... Maude Olinger and Elizabeth (Lizzy) Burns.


Here are two (2) Stacked Coins .... pattern from MaryQuilts. Both were quilted at the same time on Prince Charming using the Ebb & Flow pantograph from Lorien Quilting. I love this pantograph ...... looks like flowing water, wind, flags waving and more.





Stacked Coins #1





I made the off center four (4) patch from Mary's website. I did have to use my head and cheat alittle on the backing as the United We Stand fabric is a one-way print. I had to do some extra sewing so it would all be going in the same direction.








Stacked Coins #2
Just as I snapped the photo the wind lifted the quilt forward .... how cool is that.......




School of fish backing ...... they're everywhere.



I had a horrible disaster that sends a quilter crying. Now that story I'm saving for later .... look for it in a couple days.

Hey while Pappy is dog sitting ....... I'm quilting.




I sewed up a storm on Saturday. Christmas coins strips are together and trimmed. Now to select sashing/borders.

AND even finished a small wall hanging (30x30) I started 3-4yrs ago. I had to laugh at the wall hanging which was a kit from Joann's. It's called Serendipity. The pattern was a "string" block using templates. Man how dumb I was way back then.
