Lots of colour.....






New project today, one Moda jelly roll, "Maypole"....some white homespun and this is the starting of my coin quilt....I have sewn all strips in groups of six or seven, cross cut into 5.5 inch sections, I then joined to make a strip about 48 inches long.....To the top and bottom of these strips, which I will alternate each time, I have added a 2 inch and 3 inch piece of white, which will give an up/down look to the rows....my outside border strip is 3 inches and the joining white pieces I have cut 2.5 inches.....not sure if I will get any more done today but it is a start....hope you are all having a productive day....

  16. Looks great Peg. Those type of quilts paired with the white look so effective! Oh, did you know that "walking on broken glass" - the introduction to that sounds like Dora the Explorer... as said by Amara!!! She came running as soon as it started!!!
