It's a finish!
Soul Searching in the Rose Garden
84 x 84
Hand quilted
I finished the top back in 2022. I used red and white rose themed prints.
I big stitch hand quilted it with red and white threads - perle #12.
The back is a gently used sheet from the thrift store with roses.
And sew on...

Stunning quilt, Cathy--Love the backing too. Your big stitching came out beautifully--lovely work on this one...hugs, Julierose
It turned out beautifully & a great find on the rose sheet for backing
Oh, Cathy, I love it! The backing is perfect.
So pretty and a wonderful color palette.
I just know you are keeping this one - beautiful finish!
That is such a beauty, Cathy! I love all your rose prints, and pretty quilting, too. Congratulations on your finish!
This is such a beautiful quilt!! So many fabrics with roses! This is a very special quilt.
I love the reds and creamy colored prints together. Red and white always look good to me
Beautiful Cathy! ❤️ To think of the bazillions of tiny stitches your hands have done! As I age I can really see the years in the appearance of my hands - but I tell myself these hands have given much service. Thanks for sharing pics of your creations - Beth in AL
That's so prettyvahd full if your beloved roses. I've made a Soul Searching quilt too, but not a rose in sight on my one.
All roses, and beautiful! I have made that pattern too and it was so much fun. I doubt that mine had any roses.
It's beautiful Cathy😍
That is beautiful and I love the slow, hand stitching.
Congratulations on this gorgeous finish! I love the front and I love the back. So many wonderful prints to look at and the back is just perfect. I bet this one is yours to keep. Enjoy the cooler weather! ;^)
Gosh, the backing fabric is perfect for that beautiful front! Congratulations!
Beautiful finish! I didn’t know there were so many fabrics with roses on them! Gail at the cozy quilter
Oh Cathy! I love it! I made one of these as part of the RSC. LOVE your big red stitches!!! It looks so soft. Great finish.
Such a pretty quilt!
What a beautiful quilt, a brilliant way to use floral fabrics. It is a treasure!
Gorgeous finish and I love that backing, too! What size needle do you use for your big stitch hand quilting? Was it difficult to needle through the quilt with a sheet backing? I've steered clear of using sheets for backing anything hand quilted due to other quilters telling me that sheets have higher thread counts, but the one you used is just delightful! Any tips for working with sheets you can share?
What a beautiful quilt.
Your finish is beautiful and I love the big stitch quilting you’ve done. Such a perfect quilt for you :)
Gorgeous quilt!!!
