Pea Soup Is Finished!



Pea Soup
64 x 80
It's a finish!


This is one of the tops I made last year from a box of 4.5 inch blocks accumulated over the years. 

I only used mostly green blocks to make the top. Most of the 4.5 inch blocks were Four Patches or HSTs. 


I combined the 4.5 inch blocks and some 4.5 inch squares and made a variety of 8 inch (finished) blocks. 

I then made 8 inch (finished) Hourglass blocks from a bag of green scrap chunks to use as an alternate block. 

I finished the top back in April 2020. 

I quilted it with diagonal, horizontal and vertical lines on my DSM in light green thread I had on hand. 

The binding is a dark green stripe. I was going to go with green scrappy but couldn't decide which greens to use and the green stripe was about the only green I had that would make it around the quilt so I went with that. 

The backing is a light green, very soft and silky and gently used sheet. 

Ready for giving or gifting!

    A great quilt. Like all the variations of the blocks. Pea Soup is a good name for your quilt.

    I think it's a spring salad. So many lovely greens. Funny how we both choose binding similarly... whatever there's enough of to go around the quilt. Congratulations on a lovely finish.

    I am always amazed at how you put scraps together. I love the different blocks and the simple quilting. Someone is going to be very lucky to get this one.

    Looks great! Good way to use up those scrappy blocks that seem to linger in the orphan box. I like the way you quilted it, too.

    Love this! And of course, you always have the best quilt names. Love the straight line quilting, too, and the patterns the lines made.
