flimsy made using the stacked coins block

I'm participating in Judy's monochromatic challenge, where she challenges us to make something every month using just 1 color and 1 neutral color (black or beige or white). This month's color is yellow and I used my yellow fabrics (which tend to the gold end of the spectrum) and the stacked coins pattern to make "Gold Coins." It is 4 columns of 5 blocks and about 40" x 50". I'll bind it in scraps from the fabrics I used.

    Of all the ideas I've personally had for this block pattern, I never considered a monochromatic quilt. It's really interesting and congrats to you for finishing your monochromatic challenge!

    Thank you Sophie and Kim.

    @ Kim - You've just given me a second name for this quilt - Sunny Side Up. :-)

    @ Sophie - I was originally going to make placemats (something small and easily gifted :-)) for the yellow, but then thought of this layout while working on the January Block Lotto. I love how it turned out.

    Nice to see all the gold! Did you happen to keep track of how many different fabrics you used and how much of each?

    I used 13 different yellow/golds. Some were scraps. For more variety, I purchased a 1/4 yd. of several. I used 10 8" strips for 9 fabrics, 5 from another 2, 4 from one, and only 1 from the last fabric. The white was all the same.
