As a quilter, there’s nothing better than finding a pattern that’s incredibly simple to make and doesn’t take much time.
The Coin Quilt is all of those things, and the end result is super cute. With just a few simple steps, your quilt top can be completely finished in just a couple of hours.
Here’s how you do it.
What You Need:
- Jelly roll strips
- Sewing Needle
- Sewing Machine
- Fabric cutter
- Iron
Step 1
Cut your jelly roll strips into half and sew one strip to another horizontally.
Step 2
As you go along, try to create some variety by alternating dark and light colored strips until you reach desired length.
For best results, groups of 4 strips are recommended so it will be easier when you press the strip set along the seam.
Step 3
Fold your strip set. Using the iron, you can start pressing along the seams (top and bottom). Take extra care when pressing the strip set to avoid any wrinkles.
Step 4
Looking at the bottom, open the folded strip set revealing the front side. Lightly rub along the seam with your iron.
Step 5
Measure 8 1/2” on the strip set and start sub-cutting your strip into two using your fabric cutter.
Step 6
Once you have completed a couple more strip sets, you can start alternating and sewing the coin rows together before the sashing is added. Make these a 1/4″ seam.
Happy quilting!
