All participants will decide if their project will be with straight stacks (All pieces will be of the same width) Or— Uneven stacks — Strips can be straight — or angled.

You have options— depending on what size quilt you are making. And what your fabric source is. The Coin Strips can be from 7″ wide finished to 4″ wide. Your sashing’s can be from 2″ wide to 4″ wide. By varying the width of the coins or the sashing — you can create the quilt you want. Wider sashing’s may need more yardage.
