HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Just some pictures of Halloween quilts I have made through the years. This is an original pattern I made up 7 years ago. This is my favorite. My husband loves this quilt, it stays on our couch year round. I followed this pattern out of a Fons and Porter quilt magazine a few years ago. It was not made with Halloween themed fabric but I thought it would work up great with that fabric. Unfortunately I used a horrible batting on it and I don't really like it because of that. I think of remaking the pattern and using a good batting but I have already made it once and I have other quilts I want to make.

Another original. I made this using some embroidery pumpkins I found free on the internet about 3 years ago. I gave this quilt to charity.

This is a baby rag quilt I made. It is an original idea. I am saving this quilt for when I have a grand baby. I love it. It is so fall and so Halloween. I hope whichever one of my children receives this for their child will use it and like it. I do not have any grandchildren yet and there are not any expected in the near future but I am certainly ready with this quilt.


This is a quilt I made after watching an episode of Simply Quilts. I can't remember what this technique was called but thought I would try it out. I don't know if I really like it but I still have it in the closet. I can't seem to part with it yet for some reason. I never use it, take it out every year and wonder if I should donate it this year but it goes back into the closet. I guess I will continue to do that until I think it should go.


Well that is my collection of Halloween quilts for this year. I did make you Boo-quet but did not post another picture of that because I just posted it a few weeks ago.
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween and I will post again next month.

Holy cow. What a treasure of Halloween quilts. I love them all, but especially the pumpkin log cabins. I hear what you are saying about not repeating quilts once they're made...there is just too much fun stuff to do!
