Finished with one week left to enjoy it before Halloween! As you could probably tell from my last post I decided to quilt this in fat horizontal stripes. I had the idea mainly out of quilting laziness, but then after I saw this quilt I was sold on the idea…and the fact it took about half an hour helped too.
I had no quilt-holder-uppers ( they all hide when they see a quilt+camera in my hand) so I taped the quilt to the dirty garage door. I really like the way the black strips stand out when you skim over the quilt with your eyes.

She's a beaut! I like the quilting a lot - I just did one the other night in plain diagonal lines. Sometimes simpler is just better, I think.

Love the Halloween quilt. I made a Halloween quilt a couple of years ago, a simple Magic Nne patch, and I just love getting it out the 1st of October and throwing it on the back of a chair to enjoy all month long. BetttyLou

Have you ever saw a quilt on a blog and you just couldnt stop going back and looking at it? This quilt did that to me!! I LOVE it! For some reason it reminds me of Halloweens when I was growing up in the 70's! After I saw it I started pulling oranges and blacks from my stash! I havent made a wonky stripe quilt yet, any hints? Thanks for sharing your blog with us!!

I love this. I wanted to do a Halloween quilt and never could pull it together. I did not want all the pumpkins bats and witches stuff. You did a wonderful job. Everything I would have picked if I could have have. LOL
Thanks for sharing another great quilt with us!

Since orange is my favorite color, you know this one is a hit with me. The horizontal quilting lines were so simple but added SO much to the overall effect.
Someday, after our remodeling is done (sigh), I'm going to have a big enough couch (can only fit a love seat in now) so I can leave a seasonal themed quilt out on it all the time. How perfect this one would be for this time of year!
Trisha
Very cute, very fun! I like the way you chose to quilt it!
Cheryl Arkison
Fantastic. Halloween-y and yet not, at the same time.
