  This is the second scrappy Halloween quilt I started in October 2015 with the intention of giving this one to DGD#3 for Halloween.  Life got in the way  and the project was put away along with the  other Halloween quilt for DGD#2 . Fast forward four years later to October 2019, and I decided it was time to finish this quilt too. I just love the backing - it's soo cute! Oooh, I hate spiders!  Doesn't that big black one look scary? Pumpkin goblins and candy corn - perfect for a Halloween quilt Spooky ghosts I quilted it with a loop-to-loop design, edge to edge, across each row of strips.  It was fast and easy and I think it's just right for this scrappy design.  The quilt measures 80" x 80" and is a larger throw-size.  I'm also thinking of the other quilt projects that have been sitting on the back burner, just waiting to be finished. I can feel the excitement build and that itch that needs to be scratched.  And now I have the time to quilt....

And those Halloween quilts?  Well, they never got finished until this year.  As I sat at home on Halloween night, thinking of  my DGDs, and missing them, I decided it was time to finish those tops I've been posting about for such a long time!  They are now finished and ready for gift-giving. This quilt is for DGD#2 and I first posted about here in 2015.   It measures 53" x 62" and is a nice throw-size. (I even have enough leftover blocks to make a 2nd quilt for me!) I'm also thinking of the other quilt projects that have been sitting on the back burner, just waiting to be finished. I can feel the excitement build and that itch that needs to be scratched.  And now I have the time to quilt.  I miss my DGDs but have also missed my quilting and am so glad to get back to it! UPDATE : June 2020  ~ I wasn't sure when I'd see DGD#2 so I mailed it to her.  I wanted her to have it before Halloween 2020; a nd here she is with her Halloween...
