Finally, A Halloween Quilt

Well I finally made a Halloween quilt. I had this fat quarter pack from Keepsake Quilting sitting around for like 15 years? Maybe longer? And finally this past fall I got it together and found a pattern I liked, from Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith's book Positively Pineapple. I used some orange and yellow print and batiks that I had in my stash with scraps of Widescreen by Caroline Friedlander and of course solid black. I love the way it turn out.

Here's a closeup on one of the blocks:

The Widescreen fabric is in the corners. I had a lot of fun picking out oranges and yellows for the blocks and then arranging them into the finished layout.

It's been a slow season for me. I'm still working on my scrap stars and I also decided to take on the City Quilt, which was a kit I purchased in 2014. Or rather, my husband gave it to me for Christmas after I strongly hinted that I would like it. The store, The City Quilter, closed several years ago so the kits are gone, baby, gone. I'm glad I got one! I finished the top today and will post something soon.
