I had a few hours to spare on Friday, finished one on Thursday and was waiting for a new backing to arrive for another large quilt. I needed something fast that would be on and off the frame in a few hours. I don't get many like that! But I had a little 45" quilt for my guild's charity work to be quilted so that was perfect for the afternoon. This is a cute little "coin" type quilt. I liked the fabrics. My mind immediately started coming up with some ambitious ideas about quilting but I quickly reigned those in because it had to be finished that day and it was already the afternoon. The backing was a solid kona gray. I layed out a gold thread on the top, but I didn't want gold on the gray back. I love a gold on those Hoffman Oriental theme fabrics but also felt it might be too bright for the amount of black that was in the top. I audtioned Grays, golds, black, even a nice blue variegated....
