Last Fall Project

This is a Halloween leftover and I finished sewing the top together over the weekend.I really enjoyed playing with these "Boo! Fright Delight" fabrics that were in the 2023 Spooky Box


I fussy cut several of the strips and featured some of those squares in the corners and sprinkled a few more throughout the quilt. I love the white fabric with tiny orange stars that is from the Bee Plaids by Lori Holt collection. The pattern has a white border around the quilt, but I'm going to leave it as is, and look in the stash for an orange or maybe striped black and orange binding.

Now this project is going into the UFO closet to wait until it's aged the perfect amount and is ready for quilting. It will be together with it's friend from the 2022 Spooky Box project called "Scary Faces".

Spooky season is now over, and Santa season is starting! Bring on the Christmas music! ♬♫

What a fun Halloween project. I like the quilt on your new header too. We are bringing on Christmas here too, decorating is done, now I just need to get cards stamped and a gift for my husband purchased.

That spooky little quilt is so cute! The fussy cuts are a nice touch. I'm now going to use your "wait until it's aged the perfect amount" reasoning for all my quilt tops!

Can you please enlighten me as to how you recognize when something has aged the perfect amount and is ready for quilting? ;)
