But he reminded me that I still owed him a birthday quilt. Since I made one for his brother. Gavin was very specific what he wanted, black, red and skulls. He even picked out a pattern he liked ....here is what I came up with for him...

I am happy to say he loves it! But....it has been added to the stack...

of quilts that need to be finished....I may have to get s second job to support my batting habits....lol! But seeing how Gavin has requested to have this by Saturday (not really sure why?) I guess I will be using my "allowance" to get batting and binding fabric....good thing he is cute!

Maybe I will be able to get a few others done next week during the

 

Hmmm....maybe...well happy crafting!

Blogger's Quilt Festival

I stumbled on to Amy's Creative Side during her spring Blogger's Quilt Festival. I found so many cute quilt ideas and blogs to follow!! There are a TON of fantastic quilts linked up here. Check it out if you get a chance.


 I was torn between which quilt I wanted to share, I ended up picking my Halloween Quilt. I know it is past Halloween, but it is the most recent quilt I finished, plus it the most fall of the two quilts I was considering. The other quilt is this one ...but here is the Halloween Quilt.

This is by far the most intensive quilt I have done yet. All of the squares are my own, I did not use a pattern, just took them right out of my head...

My two favorites are by far the pumpkin...

And the cute spider.

I backed it in a soft orange flannel, with a pieced strip. I did a meandering stipple quilting, but also added some detail to the pumpkin, spider and square. I love how it looks on the back on these squares....

It looks ADORABLE on my couch and I have loved cuddling it all month...but it is time to retire it to the basket and get a Thanksgiving one going.

Thanks for visiting...happy crafting!
