Halloween Finishes

Halloween is fast approaching!  
 I have made 3 new Halloween quilts this year!
Lots of my Ghastlie fabric collection is 
looking good in a quilts, rather than sitting on a shelf!

I used the these first 4 lines of Ghastlies fabric.

Ghastlies Peep Show

I used the Thimbleblossoms "Red Velvet" pattern

with a couple X blocks revised to my liking.

The backing (and binding) is a green/black Halloween print 

I have had in my stash for several years.

Stash pink and gray prints / most of them Ghastlie prints.

Green border is KONA and I bought it.

I had a few 8 1/2" focus fabric squares of fabric cut

so I made some black and white dot squares...

Fun piano key FMQ on the black and green borders.

and made this insert for the backing.

The quilt finished at .

The second Ghastlie quilt was made using the

2017 Ghastlies Moments panel cutting 5 1/2" squares!
Added lots of stash solids and Ghastlie prints.



 Mathilde Ghastlie is just awesome!
A fun sharp-angled FMQ quilt design on this one!

Back was a combo of larger stash FQs and Ghastlie fabrics

(remember I am using stash fabrics)

Next up is a Blue Nichols Quilt Pattern

"Painted Forest"

My stash of Cotton and Steel fabric

"Spellbound and Boo" 

Stash black, gray prints for the backgrounds 
and GRUNGE tree trunks

I deviated from the pattern's two horizontal rows

and made the top symmetrical for my...

"Haunted Forest"

The backing is yardage from Zen Chic's COMMA line

that I had hoarded for a long time.

I had some C&S Halloween prints left

so a horizontal row along the bottom part of the quilt
added a pop of color.

All 3 of these quilts were long arm quilted by 

Michelle Mayton in Mansfield Ohio.

I have one more Ghastlies quilt sent to my friend
and fellow guild member for
Central Ohio Modern Quilters
and, Columbus Modern Quilters. 
Cassandra is making great quilts and accolades
and I am lucky to have her quilt this one for me.

I will have a full post on this quilt once it is completed.
but for now..a sneak peek!

I hope this post will inspire you to 
GO ON and CUT THE DAMN FABRIC!
Use it...you will be glad you did!
