Last quilt for the year
 

Someone asked me to make a quilt with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme for her 22 yr old daughters Christmas. I hadn't even heard of the film. I had to have some fabric printed for it as off the shelf fabrics are rarer than hen's[ATTACH=CONFIG]503170[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503171[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503172[/ATTACH] teeth. My phone takes poor pics though. The yellow is actually bright orange, while the orange is pumpkin colour. I really enjoyed making this quilt though Id've enjoyed it even more if my machine hadn't played up!

I don't know The Nightmare Before Christmas either, it's very nice and congrats on figuring how to get the job done!

very pretty!!!!

Wow! You are so dang talented! I love it.

Nice quilt - what pattern did you use?

Never heard of that theme either, but sure do like your quilt!!

beautiful, i'm sitting here wearing my Jack sweatshirt as I'm admiring you beautiful one of a kind quilt.

I adapted tic tac toe from the Quilters cache for the pieced blocks and used the software to translate images from the film into embroidery pieces. I got the border fabric printed through spoonflower.

Jack is awesome. I hadn't heard if the film so bought it to get some ideas. Its a great film for Xmas. I really thought there would be lots of options out there regarding fabrics etc but google threw up only one other NBC quilt which was really completely different from this one so I guess it really is one of a kind.

You did a great job!

Love you choice of fabrics - have always liked large blocks myself -- your borders are perfect too!

I love your quilt. We have played that movie every Christmas since it was released. Hilarious. Thank you for sharing your quilt with us, I would never have thought about making a quilt of it.

nicely done

Thanks for the info.

Where were you able to get fabric printed?

Its a Tim Burton film, my oldest daughter and her daughters love that show. Great work on the quilt !

I have heard of the film, cannot imagine it as a quilt theme, but you did a fantastic job.

that looks like a very fun quilt and what fun designing the fabric to use in it. Way to Go!

Beautiful quilt!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard of the film and you did an awesome job on that quilt.

My daughter would swoon over this. Have to love Jack :-) Fantastic quilt!!!

Great theme...Good job...

Great way to get it done. Bet her DD loves it!
