Lest you think I have been sitting back with my feet up and eating bon bons, while Molly does all the heavy lifting.....hee, hee....well maybe I have just a little ;)
My little sample for the shoppe is finished....pieced, quilted, bound and delivered....
This is a Coin Quilt using the very sweet Birch fabric....Storyboek.....
This quilt has 5 stacks of coins separated by a lovely muted grey whale fabric...
I quilted this with Aurifil 12 wt. cotton thread in an ivory color....BTW.....look for an exciting giveaway coming soon!!!!
This is a heavier thread than I usually quilt with {in the machine} so I was a little worried that it may just shred as it passed through the needle...but Aurifil is such fantastic thread it worked like a dream!!!
After machine quilting with 'organic' straight lines....I added several rows of pick stitching with perle cotton. The pick stitching travels in the opposite direction of the machine quilting.
I used white kona for the back, pieced with selections of Storyboek....
added a little log cabin...
And, inspired by Molly, I pieced the binding....
I have to say...I love the materials used in this quilt. From the Organic Birch Fabric {I wish you could feel this fabric}, to the AMAZING Aurifil thread, to the sweet added touch of Valdani Perle Cotton....
This was a great quick project...now I need to get back to my spiderweb quilt....
and my Grandmother's Flower Garden....whew!
So stay tuned....I will be conducting my first ever giveaway {details coming soon}.... yee-haw!
I leave you with one last look at the Storyboek Coin Quilt...
Happy Tuesday!
