I finally learned how to paper piece. (Thanks for the gentle nudge QuiltE) Made a mug rug with my "learning" piece.

Then I tackled 4 patterns from Artisania. Definitely not easy for a first paper pieced quilt but sooo worth it.

It was almost as fun shopping my Halloween fabric stash as it was making the quilt.

Don't know if you can see it but I tried a little bit of "beaker" quilting.

I even designed a devil pattern for the centre but I feel he came out looking more like an evil bunny so will get his own quilt instead of joining his pals in this one.

This quilt was made to enter into a modern quilt show but was rejected very quickly. Not capital M modern nor capital Q quilting. I love it anyway and, even thought it isn't their style, it is mine.
