There are over 300 photos on the Flickr Coin Quilt Group of Coin Quilts made by the participants, with many different interpretations. There is a lot of inspiration and talent there.
This Coin Quilt-Along was organized by Orange Flower: Sketchbook. This link will provide you with details of how to go about making a Coin Quilt, although many variations are possible, with there being no such thing as a wrong Coin Quilt!
This is the Coin Quilt that I made in early February 2009. The "coin" pieces were cut 2.5 x 4.5 inches and the sashing strips were cut as 1.75" strips. The borders are 3.5 inches. But really, you can make the "coins" any size you like.
This is a quick and easy project,that doesn't require a lot of sewing experience, and is just great for using up all those scraps, or for digging deep into the stash. The layout is simple but it is a design the will result in a quilt that looks great!
These pictures show the details of the quilting, and the fabric that I chose to use for the back of the quilt.
Go on! Check it out. Coin Quilts are very manageable projects. I hope you make one!
Yours is beautiful and I agree - there is never a 'wrong' coin quilt.
