Simple Abundance Coin Quilt
Posted by Nina on May 21, 2010
Way back when friends of Sergey’s found out they were expecting, I purchased this fabric to make a stacked coin quilt. Everything went smoothly until my basting slipped on the backing and created wrinkles in the fabric. Later I found that the mother-to-be was a seamstress herself and I agonized about this. Over. and. Over. and. Over. again. The mother would no doubt notice the wrinkles and any imperfections that may be in my quilt.. so I just got so frustrated I put it away and decided I never wanted to look at it again!
Finally 2 days ago I dug the fabric out and decided to finish it. The baby was born in December. She never got the quilt.
I am now pondering the idea of giving the quilt as a 1st birthday gift along with a children’s book since it’s the perfect size for a toddler bed… there is only one problem. I am absolutely head over heels in love with it.
just look at all that crinkled goodness!
The finished size is 37.5″ x 46″. The fabric is Simple Abundance by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. The pattern is stacked coins featured in the moda bake shop. It’s the perfect size for a toddler to cuddle up with, or a lap quilt…. Now, if you will excuse me, I’ve got some soul searching to do..
Love it! I love the stacked coins pattern and the colors are so pretty!
I made this quilt for grandson in primary colors with a matching pillowcase. It is a fun patterns.
Yours is beautiful.

I’d keep it. But you know me.
What a beautiful quilt. I like the quilted texture.
I love this simple pattern! A great wy to use charms and it is such an appealing design. Sometimes, simple is best.
Beautiful quilt
Lovely

I need to introduce you to my friend Sylvia’s “Fly by rule” in quilt making. If you hang your quilt on the porch and fly by at 45 miles per hour on the road in front of you house, and CANNOT see the imperfection in the quilt….well it just doesn’t exist. LOL.
Seriously, I love your quilt and it think it is perfect!
This quilt is adorable! I love all that crinkly goodness!!
I like stacked coins. Great way to show off different fabrics.
I love your quilt! The colors are so rich and beautiful. I know I would have a hard time giving it up!
Gorgeous quilt! I love Simple Abundance. My quilt festival quilt is made with Simple Abundance too.
The little girl’s birthday is in December? I say keep this one. You have plenty of time to make another for her!
I love this quilt! And I love Chris’ “fly by rule”. Hilarious! Stacked coin is one of those quilts I want to make one day, using scraps I have. Thanks for sharing it and good luck with your dilemma.
this is beautiful. i really love the colors.
Keep it and make the baby a new one. It is beautiful.
Beautiful quilt… I love the fabrics you chose!
I”m with you! I have the hardest time parting with one of my quilts!
Whoops! Forgot to say that it’s beautiful and I love it!
Such yummy goodness. Love the Simple Abundance. i am using it a quilt along.
Hee hee, that story is all too familiar! I’m glad someone else has had their basting not do its job and have wrinkles in the backing!
Stacked coins is always one of my faves. The colors you chose are so very lovely. Thanks for sharing
I don’t blame you; I’d have to do some soul searching myself about giving this beauty away.
I glanced thru your blog; that kid’s door quilt with the Dr. Seuss fabric looks really interesting. And you make vegan meals look REALLY good!
love coin quilts–making one now that’s a variant. fun story!!
What a dilemma–but it’s not too late to do both–give the quilt and make another just like it
Thanks for sharing your quilt’s story 
I’m not surprised you love it – it’s gorgeous.
your quilt is adorable. well done.
