I wanted to make a Halloween version of this quilt so
I chose to use these fabrics

Bewitching Layer Cake

Grunge Vanilla Stars

Bella Solid Parchment

and

Bewitching Pumpkin Halloween Lattice for the binding

I cut the 10" squares into two 5" by 10" jolly bar rectangles
and then followed the cutting instructions for the Jolly Bar Meringue quilt blocks
and I used the Creative Grids 9.5 Perfect Rectangles Ruler.

It has been a late and rainy and gray early fall here,
but the sun has finally come out again.

For my version of the quilt I had fun playing with the basic
For my quilt I played with the 8.5" unfinished meringue blocks
to create the pinwheel effect.

Here is a basic meringue block.

The pieced  back of my quilt featured the basic Meringue Blocks ...

 ... framed with a gray tonal from my stash.

The quilting is a free form spider web with my heavy duty walking foot.

Bound by my Two Fabric Flanged Machine Binding

I love the way the blocks look like they are twisting and turning in the Autumn breeze.

This was a really fun pattern
and I hope to sew it again soon with different fabrics.

Since this quilt was delayed until now,
I have been playing with the layout I made and created
some Christmasy variations:

Christmas Meringue Swirls

and

Christmas Meringue Pinwheels

Email me if you need more info on making these variations.
