My mom says that if there is an empty horizontal surface that I will fill it up... and lately i've been doing so with quilting stuff...

Halloween Quilt Fabrics

So I started out with a fat quarter bundle of the fabrics in the bottom 3 rows. Then realized that I needed some more fabric to make a twin size. So I found some more oranges and the green dots on the top row. Then I thought maybe some blues thrown in would be good because their room is mostly blue already, hence the blues on the top row.


So this is the new sketch with the block colors laid out. I forgot to take a picture of the sashing. It's got dots... actually that was the one fabric I was able to get a download of for this sketch... however, it looks better in person than in the sketch.

Animal Party #3 - Earth tones

Finally finished the animal party #3 baby quilt in the earth tones... I started straight line quilting the one in brights. If I had them to do over I would bother to square up my blocks before attaching the sashing... but I guess I was lazy. I figure they will look ok once quilted. :)

Caroler

Here's my caroler quilt top finally completed! I originally bought the border fabric for another project. However, I later realized I liked it better for this quilt's border...




and then after cutting it found out I was about 8 inches short, but only had a 2.25 inch wide strip left. So I had to piece 2 of the corners. Hopefully it won't be that noticable when fully quilted.
