Pink and Blue Coins
40 x 60
It's a finish!
This is one of 13 quilt tops I made last year when I emptied a box of 3 inch width scraps. There were several long strips in the box in pinks and blues so I turned them into coins - 2 strips at least 13.5 inches long were sewn together and then cut into 4.5 inch lengths and sewn back together into a strip of 6.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical lines on each side of the seam lines.
The binding is scrappy - pink pieces from the leftover binding box.
The backing is pieced - 3 different blue fabrics.
And sew on...

Beautiful granddaughter, she is forever in your heart.
OMG sweetness and simple appreciation in her face. Hugs to you as the celebrate the life she lived and deal with the grief all at the same time.
What a sweetheart. Hope you have many good memories to hang on to that are as sweet as these picture.:)
so sorry about your granddaughter I had not realized this had happened - that is so sad and I hope you have a lot of memories
Oh Cathy beautiful photos of Kayla, can't quite believe that it's been four years since Kayla left you.
Oh dear I'm afraid I forgot to say how much I love your coin quilt, pink and blue are always winners.
Beautiful colors in that coin quilt. And beautiful memories of a sweet soul who has left us to early. Hugs to you my friend, may you be surrounded by sweet memories today.
Lovely photo of Kayla . . . and a charming quilt (thanks for the idea for the easy quilting design).
Another beautiful quilt Cathy! You have an innate gift of turning any ordinary mismatched pile of fabric into a sight of beauty….then graciously giving the gift away. I thought it was close to the anniversary of Kayla’s untimely departure. Only 6 years ago it was discovered that I have the same heart condition you have shared they think Kayla died from. It appears from medications & a few surgical procedures my condition is stabilized…..my entire lifetime the problem was there but only newly discovered. Why are some taken, yet some are not? There is a loving God above, who has more wisdom than us, and whom we can trust……may he hold you tightly and comfort you. I do not flippantly say this, I know your hurt is enormous ❤️❤️ - Beth in AL
