As promised here is my "Sew Spooky" quilt (not finished yet) so far.
If you are not familiar with this quilt check out www.quiltcompany.com to see the designers finished quilt, purchase the pattern and/or the Accessory Fabric Packet.
I still have 3 borders to do; pieced candy corn, candy corn fabric and applique bats.
When I started working on this quilt, I didn't like the darker green that the designer had used and I decided to change my quilt to a lighter green, I found some orange in my stash with cobwebs and decided to use that for the sashing, I knew I had brick and stone fabric for the paths and chimney. When I was working on the barn the pattern said to use a owl button for the window, I found fabric in my stash with owls and fussy cut the window with the owl in it. My brown fence fabric looks like wood. And when I got to the school I found fabric in my stash that looked like a mesh fence and fussy cut the pumpkins from fabric and the windows in the door with ghosts and one of the cutest things in this quilt is the handles on the school door are from old fashioned hooks and eyes.. The quilt on the first block, door of barn, windows of school and witches house, "Ghoul School", "Haunted Barn" signs and the witches feet path are all from the Fabric Accessory Packet.
I'm not trying to sell this designers pattern, I just like to do scrappy quilts, and I like to share what I am working on with my friends. I've had more fun working on this quilt.
Please check back later to see the finished quilt.
Happy Halloween Quilting!!!
