THE Cutest Halloween Quilt Ever!

 Above is my witch block for the witch swap that the "Tahoe Quilt Chicks" had. It was hard deciding what to use for her dress but as you know I like fun, color and larger prints which many people will not buy. If you do not have larger prints in your collection, you are missing out! They have alot of personality and carry a great
message. As I look back on this post and the photos of the witches, I notice that no one else used a larger print. I wonder why? Small scale seems to be the choice and is it because we are taught that in quilting when we start? Or, is it safe? Or is it that we want to keep the scales of our prints small if the block is small? Why do we not choose larger prints? Maybe we don't because we don't use these in real life because we look bigger...what do you think?

Here are a couple of photos taken while people were fooling around with the blocks...all so different and so much fun. Three people still have to turn theirs in. Below, Tina put her blocks in a Halloween bag along with See's candy...wonderful touch! Tina is one of the most creative and FUN girls out there. I think she will be cooking for my retreat in Idaho in June which is almost full.
Below, I am going to put these 12 girls together for a great quilt and maybe I will do a swag border and will have it up next year...it is so much fun. I may also do some lettering and would love suggestions...someone suggested "Which Witch"-any other suggestions for fun?
Knowing that I will still have three blocks coming my way, I am going to make a banner for my fireplace for next year.....Autumn is my most favorite time of year!
How about You?

  1. Love these witches. I am not much for Halloween decorations, but I could do this one and enjoy it. Autumn is my favorite time of year, even if I don't enjoy Halloween.

  3. Love the Halloween bag, maybe a thin lime green border and how about some hoochy caldrons and broomsticks, and maybe a black cat and a crescent moon!

    Sounds like it was fun.

  7. I love your witches! I love Halloween quilts! May I ask where I could find this pattern? I think I still have enough Halloween fabric in my stash to make witches!

    I love large scale patterns, too, although sometimes I find them difficult to use. It was perfect on that witch's dress.

    You could call the quilt, "The Twisted Sisters" or "The Witching Hour" or maybe "Caldron Cuties"?
