The coin quilt is old. Mary Fons calls it a very old pattern, sometimes known as the Chinese coin quilt. The idea behind it is the simplest in quilting: rows of small pieces sewn end to end, separated by strips that work almost like sashing.
What makes it worth revisiting is that a jelly roll does most of the preparation for you. A friend of hers went from jelly roll to finished quilt top in about three and three quarter hours. She had set out to make a baby quilt and kept going because it was so easy. The video is from Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting.
Two things in it are worth more than the pattern itself. The first is that she cuts the jelly roll strips in half before sewing, because long strip sets are where a seam starts to wander off course.
The second is about contrast. She is clear that a single fabric line gives you some, but less than pulling solids out of your own stash. The same layout can read quiet or loud, depending on where the fabric comes from.
If this is the quilt you want to start with, the rest of the path is written out here: how to make a quilt, a complete step by step guide for beginners.
