Design Wall Monday

I have been enjoying the Bats and Boos mystery quiltalong. I have 2 friends who have already finished their version, so I was inspired to get sewing on mine. I wanted more orange in the centre so I used the pumpkins in a night sky print for the centre star.



I finished the centre block today and love how it turned out. It used up several scraps of black and it was a very fun block to sew. 




Here are all the blocks on the design wall. I am ready to sew the 9 blocks together and start auditioning border fabrics.


And in a rare episode of quilting self restraint, I am not starting the new Fat Quarter Christmas mystery because I haven't finished this Halloween one AND I haven't finished my Christmas UFO of the month yet. So look at me being all self disciplined!

Must. Stay. Focused.

    I applaud you for your restraint. I know how hard it is to say no. You did an excellent job with the Bats and Boos mini quilt. Enjoy the dithering for the border(s). ;^)

    Yah....you haven't started the new "quilt along" but the month is not over yet and I have faith that you could backslide and sign in. lol

    Oh but staying focused is no fun!! You can print the clues for the mystery and do it later. Not as much fun as playing along with everyone else!! Life is short....start a new project! Who says we have to finish them all!!bahaha

    I admire your restraint, but feel sure it won't last long. Your "Bats and Boos" is coming along nicely, though.

    That center block really "makes" this quilt. Good job. I've never had any interest in a Halloween quilt but I like this one.

    That is an admirable level of self discipline. Great progress on the bats though. They look spooky!
