Layer Cake Coin Quilt

Simple quilts, they’re fun, fast and they sure make for a quick fix project!

When I first saw Sherri McCon­nell & Chelsi Strat­ton’s debut line for Moda Fab­rics, Bright Sun, I imme­di­ately loved it.   Tur­quoise, aqua and cor­al are such gor­geous col­ours to work with and the pops of yel­low just make it so happy.

The lay­er cake I grabbed when they first came out sat on my cut­ting table for a while wait­ing for the right idea to strike and then recently, inspir­a­tion struck, and I whipped up this Lay­er Cake Coin quilt.   The free pat­tern is avail­able to every­one on my mail­ing list.   If you’re not cur­rently signed up you can so do by click­ing here, and I’ll send a copy of the pat­tern to your email address.

I’ve always loved the look of coin quilts but I wanted to update it a little and the lay­er cake I had gave me the per­fect oppor­tun­ity to do just that!     The whole quilt came togeth­er in just a couple of hours.

I was­n’t feel­ing the love for any free motion quilt­ing design so I opted for simple straight lines on each of the large coin stacks and left the sash­ing and smal­ler coin stacks unquilted.  There were more than a few threads to be bur­ied but I think it was worth it for the look it achieved.

And some left over lay­er cake squares meant that I could use a get a little bit more mileage from the back­ing fab­ric I’d pur­chased.     I rarely make a pieced back these days but I do like them for a bit of a change.

I’m send­ing this quilt off to a fam­ily friend this week.  I hope she likes it!

Happy quilt­ing,

  4. What a gor­geous quilt, Peta, and I love the idea of being able to quickly use a lay­er cake like this. You are a saint bury­ing all those threads though … not sure I could do it. Bright Sun is such a cheer­ful fab­ric line, I’m really lov­ing all the tur­quoise vari­ations in it.

    1. HI Bar­bara, the pat­tern would have been emailed to you auto­mat­ic­ally once you con­firmed the news­let­ter sub­scrip­tion. If you can­’t see it its worth check­ing your spam folder and adding me a safe sender. If you’re still hav­ing trouble please email me at shequiltsalot@gmail.com and I can organ­ise to send the PDF through. X Peta
