Another Top is Finished

Here it is! The center block was made quickly and improvisationally, using scraps (including some tiny ones retrieved from the waste basket) with no objective in mind. Separately I was making these rows of coins (or piano keys), for a strippy style quilt. But this is what evolved instead. And I like it. It's photographed on the snow, an idea I got recently from Victoria at Bumblebeans. We're trying to add a little color to the outdoors.

The photo below shows the back side. You can see that the little triangles were sewn on top of the ecru rectangles, a quick method that gives slightly wonky results. The coins are cut at 1" x 3" (finished at 1/2" x 2 1/2.") The top measures 38"wide x 40" long.

I'm thinking of calling this quilt "Sharp Focus" but I'm not sure. The binding will be made from ecru to keep the light, airy feeling. I'm already on to the next one, adding some prints to the mix this time. Yeah, I'm accumulating some ufo's but that's okay. No angst about that for me:)
