Thanks to Doodlebug Gail of Quite Quilted fame I was inspired to make this Halloween Hexagon Table Quilt.
Thank you to Evelyn aka Starfishy of Scrappy Happy Quilts fame for the tutorial on "How to Make Octagon Flowers. This was a useful reference in making this quilt top.
This was my reward today for working on a particularly challenging customer quilt. Sometimes when we are feeling challenged by a project or we are working outside of our comfort zone we need a little incentive to keep pushing forward. Today as I worked on the customer quilt I alternated between it and working on this long anticipated Halloween project. This project was quick, fun, and served as my reward.
It is complete to the flimsy stage and will hopefully be sandwiched and quilted tomrorow. It will be quilted simply so that it can grace the dining room table well in advance of Halloween.
This looks great!!
ReplyDeleteWow Norma, that looks great! It'll be wonderful on your Halloween table!

Neat - I like those small scale prints!
ReplyDeletePerfect for your round table!!! I can see you making a few more with other seasonal themes - it is sooo cute! And - I often use the "reward" system to get some chores done!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Very Halloweenie, indeed. It's going to look great on your table. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Halloween quilt-and with some non-typical Halloween colors-very nice.
ReplyDeleteHey if that's what it takes to get the quilt from h-e- double hockey sticks quilted, then go for it, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHow big did it finish?
It's really very cute. Love the prints!
ReplyDeleteHi Norma, what a pretty halloween play time quilt...*VBS* Sounds like the incentive worked well, and you can smile when you see it. And think of the challenge of that customers quilt, and YOU conquering it!!
ReplyDeleteI was reading about your "finish to the flimsy" stage challenge, and I would love to join you and Linda J and whoever else is going to do that. I think you will start in January? Is that right? Hugs for a great weekend, Finn
cute! and a great way to get us back on track when we have been doing a few harder things....
ReplyDeleteOh my, that looks gorgeous! I'm so happy that my post inspired you. Try a Christmas one - it'll look just as pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! That'd make a cute christmas tree skirt too - you could leave the center triangles out for the tree trunk.
ReplyDeleteReally cute topper!!! I agree with ForestJane, that would make a great Christmas topper to! I'll have to check out Evelyn's tutorial on octagon flowers. :) Thanks for the tip.
