Halloween goods

I finally got out the Halloween quilt I started last year and finished it just in time for Halloween ’16.  (I finished the bunting last year, just never posted about it.)  Here they both are!

I also have to gush over this witch hand-made for us by our amazing friend, Melia. How fabulous is “Wilhelmina”?!?! I smile each time I see her and am beside myself with gratitude over receiving a handmade gift. We feel loved.

I used black minky dot fabric for the back of this quilt and, like all minky-backed quilts, it’s super snuggly. Our boys super-duper love it. I referred back to my old minky blanket tutorial and finished this the same way (except: (1) I remembered to pre-wash my fabric; (2) I did quilt this one–a very simple zig-zag in the seams from each of the corners; and (3) I finished the edges with two rows of top-stitching instead of one because I like the way it looks).

    As Sylvia says, this is a beautiful quilt & I ADORE Wilhemina–can you get the pattern. She would be a great addition for the shut-in Seniors nearby. Love your blog.
