Weekly Finish #30 and #31: Halloween Bats & Boos and Crescendo Runner

-

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween day.  We had a very quiet and uneventful day.  I was a little disappointed that we had very few trick-or-treaters this year.  I bought two large bags of candy but only used half a bag.  Now who's going to eat all that candy? 😃

I didn't even bother to bring out my decorations but I did put out all my Halloween and fall quilts, including these two small Halloween projects I finished a couple weeks ago.

 Halloween Bats & Boos

Finished Size:  47" square

Bats & Boos was a 2021 mystery quilt along from the Fat Quarter Shop.  I saved all the clues and finally got to it this year.  The clues are still available here.  I used an E2E spider web design and love the results.

Halloween Crescendo Runner




I finally finished the Halloween table runner that I wrote about here.  I quilted this on my longarm with an E2E design and it measures 20" x 80".
I'm happy to join these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.
Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

    Two lovely Halloween quilts! I didn't do much for Halloween this year either. Hardly any trick or treaters. Now, like you the treats on me as I get to eat the leftover candy! Thanks for sharing on my 300th Wednesday Wait Loss.

    I liked the Bats and Boos pattern, but didn't make it. Seeing yours, that might have been a mistake! The table runner is amazing!

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) squ

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish #1: Free To Be Wild Horse Panel

  Free To Be Wild Finished Size: 67" x 72" I saw this quilt on social media a couple of years ago promoting Riley Blake's Back In The Saddle Collection.  I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to make it for my daughter. Sadly, this was an older collection, and this particular panel with the black horse was nowhere to be found. However, I found this panel with the running wild horses from the same collection and knew my daughter would love it. In December, I decided to make this quilt for my daughter's birthday this month.  I searched social media for a pattern and found a tutorial for this quilt by Quiltscapes . Luckily, I found the pillow panels from the same collection for the quilt's four corners.  Sewing the top was fast and easy -- just add strips for borders and done. I quilted it with an E2E design from My Creative Stitches and used Warm & Natural for batting. My daughter's birthday is next week.  But she came for a quick visit this past we
