I have to give some ladies in the chat room credit for giving me the idea of doing a coin quilt. I didnt know what to do with my 2-1/2 x 6-1/2 piecs of fabric. Thanks to those ladies, I think I did pretty good with it :) THis is my first one. I have scraps to use up and I STILL have scraps to use even after a king sister's choice blanket and this one hahaha. (btw, I will post the picture of the king quilt as soon as I get it back from the LQS)
My, soon to be ,4 year old son said we needed a blanket for the car for when he is cold. So I made this and put the funky back to it. He told me last night that when I get done with the quilt that he wanted it on his bed hahaha. Too Cute! I almost want to just keep it in the house.
The back is fleece and pretty light weight, but is warm and snuggly. I did quilt straight down the black strip, instead of tieing it. Seems to have quilted just fine :D
I am really happy the way it turned out.

I love the backing!

How really cute and a great idea! Fleece is on sale right now also. JoAnns and Hancocks, half price.

I'm with your son. I think it would look good on my bed.

Really cute quilt. Nice job.

Thanks ladies. It was so easy to do. I will probably do another one. I am thinking maybe it would be a good quilt for a signature quilt, for my neice. I told her I was going to make her a quilt for her senior year of school so her friends could sign it. Do you think the coin quilt would work okay for that?

Love the coin quilt and the backing is great.

Very nice and a good idea to use up scraps.

Very nice love it

I think it would make a great signature quilt! I'm currently making a quilt for my daughter and I think I need to go get some of the fleece for backing :)
