My First Coin Quilt

This is the top, all put together. It's been a fun quilt to do. Very easy and quick... I like that! I get to see the end result with only a short amount of work.

I'm sure I'll do another one of these when I have scraps that need used up.
This coin quilt is entirely done with scraps. The white sashing and border is from an old sheet that wasn't being used anymore.
I'm thinking I may use the rest of the sheet for the backing. That way the quilting will show up real nice. And it seems so fresh and clean!

And another thing accomplished today:

This was my skirt. I bought it at Goodwill about a year ago and have never worn it (just a bit too snug for my liking).

So today I cut out one of the panels and sewed it all back together. It took all of 3 minutes and Kaycie has a new skirt... And she loves it!

I was able to repurpose and reuse today for the quilt and the skirt. I like that both items were virtually FREE!! New creations!

And the best part about today: THE SUN WAS SHINING AND IT GOT HOT! Yeah!! Finally able to spend more time at the river with the kids. I love summer!
