I'm very proud of my red & white Jacob's Ladder quilt but the seams... I don't show you LOL.

The 5" squares four patch 'a la Jenny Doan style' are not very acurate!! I learned it the hard way: you must sew a scant-scant 1/4" seams!! so Ladies and Gents please don't look my points very close!!!.
Now I need to find the fabric for the back, iron and sandwich it.
measures: 48" x 72"

I'm beginning a new proyect too, inspired by the wonderful Chinese Coins made by Lynn Dykstra http://kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.co...s-process.html a link I found here in the board.

While piecing this top I'm improving my seams, learning to nesting them well and mastering the scant 1/4". Each piece is 1 1/2" by 2 1/2".
I hope you like it! and thank you for looking.
Love your Jacob's Ladder quilt! Red and white are so great together. Also like you Chinese Coins! Can't wait to see the finished quilt. Keep up the good work and a big welcome to the board. You'll love it here!
