My Hallowe'en quilt is complete, and hanging in my front window. A full 2 weeks early, even!
This was a lot of fun. I took inspiration from the block lotto curved rails, and 10 fat quarters I picked up this past weekend when I was out looking for inspiration. The curved blocks went together really quickly, and used pretty much every scrap of the 10 fat quarters - I cut the quarters into 9" squares, and then cut the curves in those blocks. Final blocks were trimmed down to 8" unfinished. The FQs made 40 blocks in total - 10 down the sides of the panel on one side, and the other 30 blocks made up the reverse of the quilt.
I quilted it with freehand loops, and hung it with clips (to keep the 2-sided option) in my front window for the season. I can't wait for daylight tomorrow, so I can see what it looks like from outside. The panels in the window will probably interfere a bit, but hopefully people will be able to tell what it is.
This is my first seasonal quilt. And now I'm inspired to do something for Christmas next.
Oh how fun this is!!! You did a great job on it! I found you through the QG contest -- I voted for your quilt entry! :)
