I made this quilt to use 6" charm squares and to practice feather quilting. The coins sections are cross-hatched and the white sections are feathered. The binding is pieced from leftover strips of 30's repro fabrics.

This is a close up view of the feather quilting. It's not the best example of feather quilting but was OK for one of my early attempts.

The backing is a pink and green flannel. It's very soft and shows off the quilting very well.
