My little block turned out to be a bigger project than I first planned.
I started out with just four half-square triangle blocks, each 12 1/2" square. I made each in orange and gray.
I sewed the four blocks together......
and then the fun began! I drew off a witch face and feet and made an applique of them. I placed the face "peeking" over the center of one square, and the feet poking out from the center of the opposite square. (I think I might make a quilt of squares of Halloween fabrics with the little witch at the top right hand corner, peeking over the edge. I think that would be funny! Maybe by next Halloween I'll have it to show you!)
Before embroidering features.... |
...or sewing down. |
After embroidery. (and a little acrylic paint on her nails!) |
I ended up adding the appliqued Trick or Treat words and adding borders to the four squares. I then quilted and bound it. It's big enough for cuddling a child in or for draping over the Halloween party table (or how about the Breakfast table?).
(By popular demand, I am putting together kits for this little lap quilt/tablecloth. It is 43" x 43". The kit will have very similar, but different fabrics and will include fabrics for the top only. $49.Hair and pattern IS included. If you want to pre-order one, please contact me HERE ) |
