These are what I have chosen for a quilt called stacked coins.
This is the "first" actual quilt I am making.
I have a brain injury and have only done sandwich quilts.
I am trying to get brave and step outside of the box.
What looks and is simple can be the most confusing
and complicated thing ever.

Thanks tons everyone !!
Nancy, Kris told me about this and it has a free download at connecting threads. I think I can use the accuquilt to do most of the cuts.
I wanted to get fabrics like the pattern showed;
but did a real lousy job of choosing and had to empty cart and start with a group of manufacture matching and work backwards from there.

Yeah Patricia. Love the fabrics. So this was your secret? SO glad. From someone else who has had too many people walking in her Brain, I know you can do it and I am sure NP3 and I will be there the whole way. Next step, of course, if you getting on a plane to come here to see us. LOL. I am sooooooooooooo proud of you...Big steps. And yes I know where the fabrics came from. LOL.
