I am looking forward to Fall and it looks like the weather is taking a turn this weekend to cooler and more Fall like.
I like Halloween just because it is fun and now that I don't have little children any more, no pressure to do anything! We don't even have to hand out candy because there are no children in the neighborhood. I try to make a halloween quilt every year just because the grandkids love them, what better reason than that....
This is the newest one called New Wave and you can find the tutorial right here http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/2010/03/new-wave-quilt.html It was fun and very easy to make.
A little rick rack along the binding edge because it is fun (it's a little hard to see).

This one was made using charm squares which was super easy. I had the border print for a long time and did not know what to do with it.

ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, I enjoy making them. Pillow cases are good too, anything we make will make them feel special!
ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween quilts Kelly. I'm so glad you showed several of them. I love your choice of fabrics - so fun! How big are they?
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteThey are throw size, probably about 50x65 or close to it. I am glad you like them.
Fun quilts. That's the first wave I've seen in Halloween prints. Very fun!
