This Winter Walk quilt – named for the Winter Walk fabric by Denyse Schmidt – has quickly become one of my favorites.

I love the fabric (obviously) and love the block design, which was inspired by a vintage quilt I saw a few years ago.

The blocks in this quilt were easy to put together, but the sashing was triiicky.  I love the look, but there may have been some choice words muttered while I was putting it together.

The angles and the position of the blocks with the sashing was challenging, to say the least.  (Please don’t ask me how I did it because I don’t know, LOL.  I was basically winging it and figuring it out as I went.)

The back of this quilt is a scrappy collection of Denyse Schmidt fabric and a piece of fabric from a vintage bedsheet.  I thought it went well with the Denyse fabric and has the same vibe.

When I was cutting the fabric for the back, I wasn’t concerned about it being perfect straight.  Same thing when I was sewing the back; I made the seams slightly wavy or at an angle.  I liked the perfectly imperfect look it gives and I think it complements the scrappy, pieced back.

This quilt has now been moved to the “finished” pile and I think it might find a spot on my couch for this winter.  It’s a lap quilt size and will be perfect.

Thanks for reading!
