What About the Green?

Since the green coins weren't used in the previous quilt, I have loads of them on hand but almost no white strips and relatively few yellow coins left. While I can certainly sew two green columns together, I want to show a three-color quilt at the demonstration.

Yellow and green columns in progress for Chinese Coins

So I added a row of blue coins...

and sewed a quick top.

Chinese Coins VII duplicates CCVI but covers all my bases -  mixing prints, adding a strip square, changing column widths, ruler cutting the sides, and using three colors. Having both at the demonstration should highlight all these points.

I never realized how hard teachers work to prep a class.

Enjoy the day, Ann
