{Sew} Modern Monday #7

It's time for another weekly edition of 

{Sew} Modern Monday 

here at Canoe Ridge Creations!

This week I am very excited to share with you my completed Sliced Coins Quilt from the quilt along over at Don't Call Me Betsy.

I had planned on giving this quilt to my sister when she graduates from high school this spring.  That was until she made a passing comment that she wasn't a huge fan of gray.  Eeek!  She might change her mind after she reads this post. :)  I have to admit though, I wasn't too crushed.  It just means I get to enjoy this one myself!

For the quilting, I went with simple wavy lines using the zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine.  Thanks Lee for the inspiration.  Have you seen this quilting method?  All you have to do is lengthen your zig-zag stitch and you're off.  It is so great and offers a fast and easy alternative to an all over FMQ pattern!  I just love the look of it on this quilt.

I used the same stitch to sew the binding down.

Love these little birds!
