    Here is the last 6 months of my life, finally completed. When starting this quilt it was my first go 'round with applique, of any kind (though during the progress of this quilt I did a couple other smaller applique projects). I certainly learned a LOT! Also my first scalloped border. The thing I learned about that was Scallop Border=pain in the butt. :)

    The AKA name comes from my husband. When I had first got the pattern and was looking it over I was commenting on it to him. He glanced at it and said, "I just don't need that much misery in my life." I laughed then but before it was all said and done with this quilt, I was feeling the same way. But it's done now and just in time for Halloween decorating!

    That is adorable and only another quilter would realize the time in something like that. Love that pattern.

    Really brings a smile to my face. Love the scallop border. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
