Kelsee's Quilt

Time for posting another quilt.  This one was made in 2009 for my husband's granddaughter Kelsee when she graduated from high school.


This is called a "coin" quilt, or sometimes "Chinese Coins".  It is usually made with white sashing between the stacked fabric strips but I thought the black made the bright colors really stand out.  That and the fact that Kelsee is not really a white kind of girl. 

One of the things I like most about quilt making is putting the colors together. It was so much fun picking out all these fabrics but since I didn't know how much I'd need of each color, I have a lot left over.  They'll show up in another quilt someday.  In fact, I have some set aside for a quilt pattern that I was intrigued by but haven't had a chance to make yet.
