Our little county fair was a few weeks ago. I decided to enter this so last minute. As in, it was in my mind on Thursday and I finished binding it on Tuesday (not sewing on Sunday, of course). I thought another triangle quilt would be fun, but I did some color play with this one. I love how it turned out.
I used a ton of halloween prints. I like the vintage stuff more than the cutesy stuff.
My little local quilt shop had these panels and I couldn't say no! I love the back so much.
That skeleton is my favorite.
I was stressing about the binding. I really wanted an orange stripe. I even made a special trip to the store to look, but no luck. One day I was organizing my sewing room and I came across tons of this striped binding. I forgot I made like 80 yards of it ages ago. It was like the quilting gods smiling on me and plopping it into my lap. It totally makes the quilt.
I mailed this one to my sister, who is equally obsessed as I am with Halloween. One year she dressed up as a taxidermic mounted moose head and took her kids trick-or-treating.
I could only gift it to someone who loves Halloween as much as I do. Glad it went to a good home.
