Coin Quilt #17

It’s been a crazy week.  Hubby had some issues, but all is well now.  We are heading to Alaska this weekend for a land and cruise.  It is our first time there and can’t wait to relax and enjoy the beauty of the land.

But before I go, I wanted to get this Coin Quilt top finished.  I didn’t want any project left waiting.

I modified the pattern with extra sashing.  I also didn’t add the small coins to the front.

I’m going to use the small coins on the back.  I have two choices for backing.

Backing #1

Backing #2


What do you think Backing #1 or #2?

    Very cheerful! I love simple designs that show off the fabrics. For the backing, it is hard to tell, but I think backing 1 will give the quilt a different look from the back, which I always like.

    The quilt is lovely – I have never made a coin quilt but really need to add it to my list! Whilst I love backing 1 some of the prints from the squares get lost in it so I would go for backing 2. Have a wonderful time in Alaska – now that is on my list of places to visit!

    Lucky – a trip to Alaska! Someday I'll get there. The quilt is fabulous, and I prefer backing 2, but it is your choice. Thanks for sharing at Midweek Makers

      Thanks for stopping by Susan. It was a beautiful trip. Now that I'm back I'm without a machine. looking to buy a new one at the upcoming quilt show in Grand Rapids Michigan next week.

    I love the pretty, bright colors in that quilt. Both backing choices are lovely, I lean towards #2 just because it makes those colors pop a bit more. I think both are good choices though. Do you have a binding picked yet?

    I like the polka dots for the backing. All is very pretty.

      Thanks for stopping by. I used the second backing and am getting ready to add the binding today.
