The Sliced Coins quilt-along was really a lot of fun, and I'm coming in just at the deadline, here, but I finished it! I present (and as always, click for bigger photos):
48" x 48"
Fabric: Wildflowers by Heather Mulder Peterson
Batting: Warm & White
Quilted by me with variegated coffee-colored thread in a meandering loopy pattern
I was pretty excited to be able to finish this as quickly as I did! The quilting took me most of last week Sunday afternoon, and it was my first time free-motion quilting anything bigger than a placemat. I have some tension issues and I can already tell it's going to take some significant practice to get my stitches more even, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I'll warn you now, I'm going to link up all over--I'll add buttons below as I do!

It looks beautiful!!! I love the fabric and colours....I'm just learning the FMQ myself..I am a hand quilter....I understand what you mean completely. But it looks great....you should be very proud
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Love this fabric collection!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job!! I love the loopy quilting especially :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's beautiful! I've never seen one like it, with the varying rectangles.
ReplyDeleteI feel rather silly for asking, but why is this called "sliced coins"?
Congratulations!! It really turned out beautiful. That pattern surely showcases the fabric perfectly. It looks like you were very successful with the FMQ. Fantastic Accomplishment!!!
ReplyDeleteisn't the loopy quilting fun? your quilt looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I for one love you free-motion quilting, and your courage to do it on an entire quilt! Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So impressed with your FMQ skills. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's lovely. The quilting is really gorgeous. I love how it's all loops and whirls, while the patchwork is all straight lines. It works so well.
ReplyDelete(I was going to ask about the 'sliced coins' as well, but Tracie beat me to it ;))
The quilt looks fantastic! I love the pieced backing. Congrats on your finish!
