Baby boy coin quilt

I made this as a gift for friends who just had their 4th boy (they do have one girl sandwiched in the middle too). I used Amanda Jean's tutorial but made it a bit shorter and the sashing a little narrower.  I love how it turned out!
Lots of scraps used in this one :)  I had a bunch of extra rectangles that I added to the binding for fun too.
I quilted it with a loose all-over meander which looks okay but in hindsight I think straight lines would have looked better...
I'm linking up with amylouwho's Sew & Tell. Go on and check out all the wonderful craftiness!

  1. Suzanne, I love this quilt! Love the colours and the simple coin pattern, which I've seen before. I was thinking of this kind of pattern yesterday, trying to figure out if it would work for my first little quilt. I just came home from picking up my sewing machine! - Linnet

  4. The colors you used are perfect. The coin quilts is one of my favorite because it comes together so quickly with a big impact. Just like yours is.

  5. What a great quilt!

    And you still have snow?! Wow. Bless your hearts.

    I love that you're sisters, and that you have lots of children. I have five, and I love to do lots of the same things that you mentioned in your bio.

    How wonderfully you're honoring the Lord and your husbands by being joyful, productive, and frugal -- and encouraging one another along the way!

  15. So cute! Makes me want another boy. Okay, maybe in like 2 years when C is out of diapers :) I have had such a hard time finding "boy" fabrics here. I'm a long way from quilting but I've made the kids a few shirts and B's are so hard since everything seems to have flowers! M liked an entire aisle of flowers and butterflies. :)
