Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 35 ~ More Bats & Boos

 

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 35

Here is my 

Bats & Boos QAL Quilt

quilt top! 

I have not been on the computer much, but I have been sewing.

I am sewing the pieced backing for this quilt 

and hope to soon have it on my longarm.

I posted my Witch Hat Block here last Thursday

and promised a tutorial.  

I am still promising to have it up soon.

I really liked how this block capped off my pumpkin blocks and extended the purple print from the bat blocks into the border.

My quilt top now measures 65" square which is a good size for my daughter's family to snuggle under on their sofa this Halloween.

What have you been stitching and sewing this week?

Please share! 

Thanks to all who join in my linky party fun!

Bats & Boos & Back to Blogging

 

Hello, My Quilty Friends!

All is well here in my scrapatch.

Life just resulted in my taking a short break from blogging. 

I have been doing some sewing but I have fallen behind in a few projects.

This center block for my  

Bats & Boos Mystery QAL quilt.

This block was not hard but it was very time consuming for me.

There are 81 pieces in this 12.5" unfinished block.

 I am very happy with the result.

The finishing step is up and calls for a plain border

The finished quilt size is 40.5" square.

As I am making a throw size quilt I am working on a wider custom border 

with cornerstone blocks.

I hope to have more photos soon of my finishing steps. 

I hope you are having a safe and happy quilty week.

Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 32

 

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 32

I have been working on my 

Bats & Boos Mystery QAL

This is the first on the four pumpkin blocks.

I have played with the fabrics and made a few personal design changes.

The biggest change was the stems

These are the pieces I cut to make a more traditional stem instead of the hour glass units in the original cutting instructions.

I am happy with the result. 

I think the fabric choices work well with the purple

Bats & Boos ~ Block 1 ~ Fun & Done

 

My four Bat Blocks are sewn for the 

Bats & Boos QAL ~ Started Here

It is sew fun to play with these bright Halloween fabrics that have been waiting

 in my stash for the right quilt.

I have cut and sewn some of these fabrics before for smaller projects,

 like these cute ...

Trick or Treat Bags that I made several years ago,

Toddler Trick or Treat Bag ~ Free Tutorial

... but never have I ever featured them in a quilt. 

These are some of the fabrics that will appear in my quilt.

I am working on the Pumpkin Blocks now.

although the cross stitch pattern is looking very cute, too. 

I shopped my stash to sew along with this free mystery pattern

My first block is done:

This makes a 10.5" unfinished block.

This block was fun to make.

There are mirror image units in the bat wings that do require a little extra attention.

Three more bat blocks to sew for Step One,

Then on to Step Two ~ Pumpkin Block which has already been released.

Are you sewing along?
