Halloween Quilt
 

I started this quilt last year but only managed to get the middle section finished before I got frustrated and put it away (at that time I'd only been quilting for about 6 months and had no clue what I was doing lol). I finally dug it out this past week and finished it; put the border on, put the backing/batting on, did a simple SITD then sewed on the binding - which, I should point out - I'm not a hand sewer at all and dislike it immensely, but I did hand sew on the binding. I complained and *itched a lot and it took 3 evenings but I did it :D

The pattern came from the September 2011 issue of The Quilter magazine. My friend found the panel and some of the fabric at her LQS when she went home for a visit, and we found the rest of the fabric here locally.

I brought it to work since I decorated my office for Halloween - for a novice quilter I'm very happy with how it turned out, warts and all!

I think it turned out great!:thumbup:

It turned out very cute, well done.

I love your Halloween quilt. The blocks with the witch and cats are great. Nice job.

Love it, great job!

Great Job!!!

Warts??? What warts???? Oh, you mean the one on the witches' nose! I absolutely love it! Hallowe'en is my favourite holiday, yes, even more than Christmas! You did a fantastic job and aren't you pleased with yourself that you finished it?

I love it! It is super cute!

Looks great.Love your border and binding fabric too!!!

nicely done

That is adorable. You did a great job.

That put a smile on my face as I saw the picture. Lovely and bright. Gorgeous fabric - love the spider web and moon Well done.

Have you thought of machine sewing your binding - shh do not tell the quilt police that I said that - but it is so much quicker.

it's very cute!!

vk...I don't see any warts what so ever! It is gorgeous! Good job, and I am glad you got it back out and finished.

Lov it ! It turned out great!

Hey, that turned out great! The panel has really neat designs on it, and all together it makes a terrific quilt. I love the binding fabric, too.

2 thumbs up.

That is very nice, great job.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone! I do appreciate it :D

Very nice job, I love the classic Halloween prints.

I have thought about it but when I mentioned it to my quilting instructor I got her "daggers of death" look LOL She and I are actually really good friends so we laughed about it. I did try to machine sew on the binding on a table runner - I definitely need to practice more with that!

This binding is actually the best one I've ever sewn - I used the method from a thread on the board here of not ironing it in half before I sewed it onto the quilt. I have to say that I will use this method from now on - my binding has never been so straight and consistent before.

I love it! Wasx this a pattern you purchased or your own pattern?

Love it! So happy and playful!!

Very cute, perfect for Halloween.

Oh that is adorable! I have a Halloween top finished a year or two ago that needs quilted...I am so proud of you for getting yours done!! Way to go!

So cute! Love it!

It turned out beautiful. Love it.
