Blogger's Quilt Festival - Verna's Coins

When I decided I wanted to participate in the Blogger's Quilt Festival, I knew immediately which quilt I wanted to feature. I have been quilting for about 14 months and in that time, I have completed 30+ projects.


This has been my favorite so far. The pattern was modified from a Moda Bakeshop recipe. I wanted a larger quilt and only had one jelly roll to work with. I had been hoarding this Verna JR for about a year. My original plan was to keep this for myself, but for financial reasons I've decided to sell it instead. Don't feel too bad for me, though - I scored a Bliss JR last month in Paducah and I plan to make this quilt again in Bliss (which makes me swoon!).


What I love most about this quilt, is that it's the first piece I made for myself. Everything else I had made to that point had been a gift or something seasonal for the house. With that in mind, I took lots of time designing the pieced back and making sure everything was just so. It is a great representation of my design sensibility and color preferences.
Hope you've enjoyed this peek at my quilt. Be sure to head on over to the Blogger's Quilt Festival to see the hundreds of other gorgeous quilts being displayed.

  15. Lovely quilt, colors and fabrics. I often make things that are just for me and then give them away...sometimes they have to stay in the chair across from mine for me toad ire for awhile first, though! My festival quilt is one of those that will leave home in august but I've so enjoyed just looking at it for a couple months. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
