Yet another quilt

Yep, another quilt. I promise we do things other than trash garage doors and quilt around here, but it's all pretty quiet and un-exciting. I'm also trying to get as much done before New Baby's arrival as I can. Anyway, here's the next quilt, made for a friend in the ward expecting her second girl. I used this tutorial by Crazy Mom Quilts (she's amazing). I used a jelly roll, cutting the coins 5.5", made the outside sides and bottom sashing sides 1" larger, and only made four stacks to make it the right size. The math of a quilt top is one of my favorite parts of quilting. I realize that makes me not quite right. I also experimented with some straight-line quilting in the white sashing for some interest, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Anyway, mom seemed to like the quilt, and I'm hoping the new baby girl will when she's big enough. Now on to the next two quilts for some newborn twin boys :)

Nice! Not being an expert on quilts, or at least not admitting it, it still looks great!

Your math brain and your artistic side are cooperating nicely. It's a lovely quilt, as always.
