This quilt is about to fly to a new home. It's the second Coin Quilt made with the left-overs from an experiment in making postage stamp quilts. Lots of scraps, with a generous helping of Kona Snow to bind hem all together. It turns out that producing perfect postage stamp quilts like those of Red Pepper Quilts is not so easily achieved. Lots of mismatching points, and a riot of colour that only a teenager would like.
So, a change of plan later, and two new lap quilts were made.
As you can see its still warm here, and a few flowers like these Cosmos are hanging in. The nights are getting cooler though, so soon it will be all bare twigs and winter Polyanthus.
I've also discovered a new way of binding quilts....bribing a teen sewer. My daughters skills on her new Bernina are in a league beyond mine, so I substitute a board payment for binding a couple of quilts. She buys new clothes, and I avoid an unwanted task. A win-win situation. She bound the above quilt, otherwise it would still be in the WIP pile with its friends. As I write this, she is on a bus to town, to lay-by some new shoes.
