Sneak Peek: Wonky Stacked Coin Quilt

Fresh off my finish of my Agent N's sheep in the hills quilt I started a stacked coin style quilt for a special recipient - one who wasn't yet any more than a wistful thought in the minds of two of my dear friends.

I had a blast picking out fabric. Actually, that part might be more fun than the actual quilting most of the time.

The initial fabric choices.

I completed the top and back in a few days (all those straight lines were a breeze after the curves on the hill quilt). In fact, it was basted, quilted, and sitting in a drawer in my dresser the last time these dear friends were at my house.

It sat in that dresser drawer for months while I looked for the perfect binding - which I hadn't thought to look for when I was picking out fabrics.

I finally found a fabric that I hope will be the perfect finishing touch for this slightly wonky stacked coin:

Bright green stripe binding-to-be?

And now that the future recipient is more than thoughts and wishes, I've got the motivation I needed to get back to work. It's past time to wash the binding fabric, attempt to make my own bias tape for the first time, and bind the quilt!
