Finished Soul Searching

Soul Searching
It's a finish!
42 x 60

The quilt was inspired by a quilt called Soul Searching in the book Making Quilts by Kathy Doughty. I say "inspired" because her blocks called for 2.5 inch width rectangles and I used 1.5 inch width rectangles instead.  

I started making blocks last year when I finally cleaned out my 1.5 inch width scrap bin.  I finished enough blocks to make a small donation quilt top in April of this year. 

And now I've finished it with some spiral quilting on on my DSM. 

The backing is a green floral and the binding was a neutral. 

And now it has been washed so it's soft and crinkly and is ready for donation.

And sew on...

  1. Your Soul Searching quilt has turned out beautifully. The individual colours of the logs really pop.

  7. I really, really like this quilt- the skinny rectangles and the neutrals. It packs a hearty comfort punch.
