I was recently (like 2 days ago) part of the Wicked Blog Hop (you can read my post here) and was very sad that I did not have one of my quilts completed for you guys! SOOOOO, I busted my hump and got it D-O-N-E! (yep, a quilt from start to finish in less than 48 hours! It's a record for me!)
I pulled random fabrics from my stash that reminded me of Halloween and started cuttin' and stitchin' and this is what I ended up with! I'm really happy with the end result. It's a small little thang about 34" wide by 46" long. But I LOVE it! :-)
I did an all over stipple for the quilting (which is my go to stitch because it's just so quick!) oh wait, I'm jumping ahead of myself, I forgot about the backing!!!!
I threw fabrics up on my design wall randomly and starting slashin' and stitchin until it was big enough! (I love this form of piecing! No worries, it's sooooo freeing!)
I was thinking about leaving it out on my couch like this, but then decided against it! (Don't want the kids or dogs to ruin such a pretty thing!) Sooo, maybe it'll go up on a wall? I'm not sure yet, what would you do with it?
I used some Pearl Bracelets in Pumpkin for the binding! I think it brings the whole quilt together!
I've got a few more ideas for Halloween projects, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get to them any time soon, but I am going to try!
I hope you like the finished product as much as I do!!!!

This turned out so nice...love it!
It is spectacular! You made a reversible quilt! I love the back just as much as the front, I could not choose! Well done.
Love both the front and back! I would put it on the couch but my kids are too old to wreck it! That binding is just perfect!
Came here for the blog hop and I'm so glad I'm late because I got to see this quilt! Love the modern Halloween flair, Kelie!
Love this one, too, Kelie! You ARE on a roll! :) The binding is perfect.
what wonderfully wicked work!!
Wow! 48 hours...you are my new hero! The right binding is a beautiful thing indeed! A sweet finish, for sure!
Improv & Halloween! You can't go wrong with that combination Kelie. Well done!
Hi Kelie! This quilt has everything awesome about it! I love the front, so modern, AND the back, so fun and scrappy! The binding is just perfect, too. This quilt should be in a magazine!
