DH is sleeping in today, so I've had a chance to get started on the quilting on his birthday quilt. This is just a little smaller than a twin quilt that he can use on the sofa or in his office on the chilly winter evenings. It was quick to put together by strip piecing a Moda jelly roll. I believe this pattern is called "Chinese Coins".

I've only got about 3 weeks to get this done (all the while, out of his sight), so it's been a welcome opportunity this morning.

I'm looking for suggestions as to what motif to use in the sashing also???

I like this quilting pattern that you have used; works well with the leaf/earthy theme.

gorgeous quilting...I think the quilt itself is really neat too.

It's really a luscious quilt! I'm sure he will love it. If not, you can send it my way!

Looks great! :thumbup: I'll bet he'll love it.

most awesome,great colors and great quilting

Beautiful... Prefest colors too! I would maybe try a little swirly pattern in the sashings or vines with smaller leaves just kind of scattered on the vine. Nice quilting job so far.

That looks really great..can't wait to see the whole quilt. Sorry, don't have suggestions for the border..I always have trouble there too...the few quilts I've done

Beautiful quilting, I love the colors.

Love the quilt!!!! How about quilting some sweet words of love and his name in the smaller border? :wink:
