My favorite quilt (well, one of my favorites)

I think I’m in love with this quilt.

I made it as a wedding gift for our family friend who officiated our wedding ceremony.

I have loved the stacked coins since I first saw them– they look like the perfect blend of traditional and modern to me. I had a hard time parting with this one.

I am really happy with my decision to sash in the kona cotton in the color “wheat.”

I decided to quilt it with a blue thread. At first I was not a fan– I usually match my sashing color so the quilting really fades away. After quilting about a third of this quilt, I almost pulled it all out. It just showed up so much! But J said he liked it, and pointed out how it made the “puzzle pieces” of the stippling stand out. When it was all finished, I had to agree– I ended up loving it. Especially how it showed up on the chocolate-y brown on the back of the quilt.
