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! ♬♫
Linking up to Judy's Design Wall Monday
Such a fun finish! Wasn't Halloween just yesterday? How can it be December?
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your Boo quilt. I couldn't figure out why you called it the Boo quilt; now I get it. It's adorable. Enjoy the Christmas music. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThats a great one !
ReplyDeleteit will probably be aged enough by sept 2024 so you can use it for next year haha!
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!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute, Kathy! I love all the scrappy Halloween prints and the Boo ghosts. Looks like a really fun project!
ReplyDeleteIt's darling. and the fussy cuts are just random enough to keep your eye moving across the surface looking for the next one (love).
ReplyDeleteLove the cute ghosts but them again, I love everything Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteCan you please enlighten me as to how you recognize when something has aged the perfect amount and is ready for quilting? ;)
