quilting monday: "once upon a time" FINISHED!

Although it should probably be called "It was a dark and stormy night..."

I would never have believed, when I started this back in September, that I would finish this in time for this Halloween. Christmas, maybe. Halloween 2006, very likely. But in two months? Ha! This blog sure is good for me. I'm very happy with how it turned out, even though the binding is a little wonky (Weeks and Bill said their binding was tricky at first), and after I washed it, this happened to a few of the seams (on the left). On the right is a detail of the quilting, with a little alternating zigzag stitch.

   
It's also fun to "play". It's very cinematic, with lots of good stories. It could almost be a board game. For example:

Sugar rush, move ahead three squares; run into Vlad, lose a turn.  It could work!  (For those of you who wanted to see closeups of some of the pictures, check here) So, all in all, not bad for my first quilt. Heads up, Kim, since I'm still in a holiday mood, I'm thinking I might to a Christmas version of "Love Beads", so I might be in the pool a little while longer.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

It looks fantastic! And, of course, as I am Halloween obsessed, it's just the perfect quilt! I'd love to see a Christmas quilt from you...

Wow, it turned out great, I'm impressed. I'm sure your family is having fun snuggling and playing "quilt" (as my daughter is calling it). My top is complete, now I'm ready for the- yikes- quilting part. Thanks for your advice.

Look forward to seeing your next one. I think this is an addictive hobby.
