Pinwheel, Day & Night and Chinese Coin Quilts

 I'm sure you all are having fun and enjoying the warmer spring weather. Three years ago I started this pinwheel quilt in yellow and teal.  
 I used every little scrap and then used leftovers to piece the border. I finished the quilting and only have the binding left to do.

 Here is a Chinese Coin quilt in red, white, blue and yellow from Michelle. I absolutely adore this type of quilt. I've made a smaller version for myself and am now thinking of making a king-size one like this for my bed.


 Here is another quilt on my wish list. This is a day and night pattern from Eleanor Burns. What's very nice about this pattern is that in her book she has a ruler. All you have to do is sew strips together then use the handy ruler to cut out the shapes.
 This is a red and white day and night quilt from one of my customers that I quilted.
 The white backing shows the quilted hearts very well. This was a wedding present.
 This is another king sized Day And Night quilt I quilted. 

 Hope you enjoy your Spring. Happy Quilting,

These quilts are gorgeous! I love what you did with the pinwheel--using every scrap. Love the Chinese Coin,too. What a lovely wedding gift with the Day and Night and is that Hearts A Flutter? Looks like the panto on the one I did for my son's wedding. Your quilting is amazingly beautiful.

I really like the pinwheel quilt. The pattern is so interesting. I wonder if it would work as a scrappy quilt. I will have to give it a try. Your quilting is beautiful on the other quilts.

What a beautiful mini quilt show! The quilting in your pinwheel quilt is so pretty, and looks so nice with the fabrics in the quilts. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Your blue and yellow quilt is so striking...I love the pieced border. All the quilting is beautiful, on all of the quilts. Just lovely, I like that chinese coins done with all the white, I've make one but not quite like that, nice and scrappy, will have to keep that one in the "file". Have a nice week!
