Stacked coins

So, I've been a little slow to make new things since I declared that I was going to become a quilter again. Turns out, I'm super lazy! Also, it's too hot. Oh yeah, and my machine was broken for a while.

But here's a quilt that I pieced a few months ago and Kendra quilted for our friend Joni who magically had three babies all at once. (I don't machine quilt and we wanted them to be the same-ish, so Kendra was nice enough to finish it off for me. I think I might learn to machine quilt as I think she said it took her about 3 hours and it would have taken me at least a week to hand quilt it.) I'm sad that these photos didn't turn out better, but you get the idea.

Here's the front:
and the back...

You can't tell but the back is brown with tiny white polka-dots. But you can see the quilting. I like the little strip of stacked coins on the back. If I ever make this one again, I may or may not do that again (being lazy, and all) but it is really cute.

Disclaimer: Although I do own my laziness, I did put in quite a few hours helping Joni make three quilts of her own. She is a novice and I volunteered to teach her how to do a simple strip quilting project. She did most of the piecing and hand quilting, and I am still working on quilting the third one. I started the binding on one and am going to work on binding the others. Although she is willing and wants to do her own binding, she has her hands full with three preemies. So I will do what I can until they move out of the city at the end of August. After that, she's on her own!
