Your parts dept quilts are always inspiring, and looking at them as Chinese Coins variations is definitely food for thought.<br />gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629856023631651681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-53711880113368172052017-03-01T16:33:23.524-08:002017-03-01T16:33:23.524-08:00Wow, I love your completed top!

This quilt looks like the chickens are escaping from the barn through the hole in the door....hee hee!<br /><br />And the quilt for your FIL was an inspired "take" on the coin concept. What a nice way to showcase some of his interests too.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-35174212028437132672017-03-01T10:10:07.721-08:002017-03-01T10:10:07.721-08:00This is one of the most unique and successful proj...This is one of the most unique and successful projects you've made out of your Parts Dept. You have put a lot of thought into it, which shows in the fact that it balances so well. And starting with the medallion, it really worked well. Good thinking about the sashing in regard to the size of the bed. The other quilt also works so well with those printed pieces and the tie-in of the colors. Congrats on two great pieces.PaulaB quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850498636712774853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-84753612804742146252017-03-01T09:29:22.651-08:002017-03-01T09:29:22.651-08:00Using those preprinted panels makes the first Chin...Using those preprinted panels makes the first Chinese Coin quilt more interesting. I also like how you used a bit of the same fabric for coins that you used as sashing. Or at least something that dark. It has almost a laddering effect which could refer to quilt ladders or those divisions marking different presidential terms. The eagle in the center makes a good connector.<br />And then your looser interpretation of Coins below. Yay. A Coin can be anything you define. I like the way you added log cabin strips on the outer blocks to move them from side to side. <br />Thanks for sharing your process on these Chinese Coins and for linking a helpful post with AHIQ.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-66198352755791111042017-03-01T04:41:36.979-08:002017-03-01T04:41:36.979-08:00Really like that completed top - well done!

I like that in both you have incorporated different elements (the printed panels and the pieced blocks) but still have the bones of a Coins structure. This is how my mind works too!

It came out so beautiful! I'm totally impressed! I can play with crochet like this, but not quilt blocks. Not yet anyway! So pretty!
