Soul Searching Finished

My Soul Searching quilt is finished! This is one of the quilts my aunt quilted for me on her long arm, all it needed was to be bound.  But, other projects kept getting in the way and I couldn't figure out what I wanted to bind it in. With help from my quilty friends I finally decided on a black/grey binding and it's perfect.

This quilt is from Kathy Doughty's Making Quilts and is a fantastic stash buster!!
Every last piece in this quilt was from my stash

It is quilted with a clamshell design.

It is so fun to see all the fabrics from previous projects playing together.

Thanks for stopping by!

More Stashbusting!!

I'm on a roll!

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.  :)
