Happy October! My name is Amanda and I write the Jedi Craft Girl blog. I’m so excited to be here at Penny Rose Fabrics today! I have been having the best time creating with these wonderful neutrals and black/grays. It’s finally feeling like fall here in Southern California! Yippee!!!!! I love decorating for Halloween and I totally needed a new spooky wall hanging in my living room. When I saw the huge variety of neutrals and gray/blacks from Penny Rose Fabrics I knew exactly what I wanted to make! I love that this is more subtle Halloween and not so obvious. I hope you love it too! You can download the details of the pattern HERE. Quilt measures 42″ square.
Most of the black/gray fabrics are from the Civil War Times fabric line. I love the variety! The rest of the fabrics are from Penny Rose Classics.
Here is the finished quilt hanging above the piano. I’m a little giddy right now 🙂
I first made the background by sewing 5″ squares together in 7 rows of 7. Then the applique comes next. You could totally add ghosts and bats, I wanted to keep it simple.
The moon is made by tracing a pie plate.
Here is a little close up of the quilting, with Mufasa’s permission 🙂
I love striped binding cut on the bias – it’s my absolute FAVORITE!!!! The backing is from Penny Rose’s mensware line – I love houndstooth!!!
Ok, so this is totally my new favorite Halloween Quilt!
