I was so excited about the scrappy log cabin quilt I finished a couple of days ago that I decided to keep going. That quilt didn't seem to make even the smallest dent in my stash, so I decided to try another scrap quilt that has been on my list.
Have you seen Soul Searching by Kathy Doughty? It is a quilt from her book Making Quilts. It has been on my mind for a while.
I figured since I already had my 2 1/2 inch scrappy strips out I'd just go ahead and start. New year motivation!!!
So here it is:
It was such a simple quilt to put together. I spent way more time playing with the fabrics and picking out my scraps than I did acually piecing it.
Aren't scrappy quilts just the best?
Two quilts in one week all from stash feels great!
I can't believe that I could make two entire quilts and see not even a little dent in my stash. It makes me wonder just how many potential quilts are living in there. :)
Thanks for stopping by,
Tracy
This one is just as pretty as the other one you made! I'd keep going if I were you... you're on a roll.
ReplyDeleteLove this design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You clearly have (had) some great fabrics to have such lovely pieces in your scraps. What do you plan to do with it?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet how I am going to quilt it...., but I will be keeping this beauty. :)
DeleteI have a box of florals that I used to make a scrappy string quilt for a friend. when I was done there looked like there was more fabric than when I started since I fluffed the fabric!
ReplyDeleteyour scrappy quilt looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern for this?
