    Default Chinese Coins Top: Third controled scrap done

    I've got the idea from this blog.
    http://kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.co...s-process.html

    The top measured 53" x 72" and it has 1908 pieces (2" x 1" finished) , 954 neutral and 954 scraps. I hope you like it.

    It was fun cutting and piecing and I welcome advise about handquilting it. I never handquilt pieces so tiny!
    Enjoy the weekend!!!

    Great job! And those are small! Also not sure how to quilt it, but it will be impressive, whatever you do!

    Oh my goodness, those do look so small. You did a great job. I have no idea about the quilting though.

    Oh my! I really like your quilt. What a great and different way to use up those scraps that seem to multiply over night. How much yardage did you use of the controlled off white background? This would make a great leader/ender project.

    That is a beautiful quilt. My mother and grandmother called it the Depression Quilt. I would not quilt every piece but quilt it in blocks of whatever size you choose. It could be in the ditch or crosshatched or possibly shadow your blocks about 1/4" from the seam.
