They have grown into three long pieces that look like they are related. I wonder? What if I pushed them together?
I will back and quilt each of the three sections and then join the with thin strips. These long skinny pieces will be great for using up odd strips of batting. The great part is that they will be joined when I join the quilt - I don't have to do it beforehand. Plus I won't have to wrestle the entire quilt through the machine. This allows me to play with some more intricate free motion quilting on a larger quilt.
I hope you are having a great weekend. I hope your creativity is flowing and that peace is abundant in your life.

You quilt is going to be amazing!! A little quirkiness is what makes you so special!! I look forward to seeing your machine quilting :)
You are doing fast work, love how it is turning out!!!
Gene, I like this version of chinese coins.
Very interesting and unique.
Great way to do a fun variation on a Chinese coin quilt. I also was intrigued with the way you presented the photo...and at first glance, I thought you were making a ROUND quilt!!! (Actually, I'd not be surprised if someday you made a round one!!! :) )
I love that they are in various widths. It's striking and has your quirkiness all over it!
Really like your version of the Chinese Coins. The blue vertical strips are a great choice and really pulls it all together so well. I really like the idea of quilting as you go and yes it's much better than what I call wrestling an octopus.
I like your chinese coins, especially the scrappiness in the colors! I haven't tried quilt as you go yet, that's going on my Bucket List.
Excellent idea Gene!!! I like the idea of putting it together in strips...I have the courage for quilting smaller strips but not so much for a larger quilt. Thanks!!!
As for the Peace in my life...I forgot what that is entirely...send some my way..pretty please :)
Smiles,
Kelly
Looks great Gene, I like the strips!
Quilting by the River
Looks great Gene. Sorry I haven't been around lately... life is squarely in my way.... sigh!
I like a quirky quilt :) Thanks so much for your comment. I'm so jealous that you got a featherweight. I need to start watching for one on ebay. I've heard that they have come down a ton in price. I remember when they first became popular again they were like 700 dollars. Congrats!
