Default Chinese Coins Top: Third controled scrap done

I've got the idea from this blog.
http://kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.co...s-process.html

The top measured 53" x 72" and it has 1908 pieces (2" x 1" finished) , 954 neutral and 954 scraps. I hope you like it.

It was fun cutting and piecing and I welcome advise about handquilting it. I never handquilt pieces so tiny!
Enjoy the weekend!!!

Oh my goodness, those do look so small. You did a great job. I have no idea about the quilting though.

Oh my! I really like your quilt. What a great and different way to use up those scraps that seem to multiply over night. How much yardage did you use of the controlled off white background? This would make a great leader/ender project.

That is a beautiful quilt. My mother and grandmother called it the Depression Quilt. I would not quilt every piece but quilt it in blocks of whatever size you choose. It could be in the ditch or crosshatched or possibly shadow your blocks about 1/4" from the seam.
