Halloween Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
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.

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. |

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. 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.
