The last day of a blog hop is the best and the worst. The best because it's been a week of
inspiring projects and the worst because it's sad to see it end. Seeing so many square creations
has been amazing. Thank you to all who participated and to those of you who've visited!
Today is my day to share a project along with some other very cool quilters.
I've been moving (twice) over the last three months so sewing has been a bit of a challenge.
The house is full of boxes and since the majority of them say "sewing room" on them,
there's been a lot of digging and searching to find what I need. Hopefully, this next week
will improve the situation and there will be fewer boxes to climb over and dig through.
My "It's Cool To Be Square" project didn't get quilted, but it is flimsy that's ready to show. I
used several of my applique designs to create a Halloween quilt that's full of squares in squares
and it's square shaped. It finishes at 52" x 52" so that should meet the "cool square" criteria.
My new backyard has pine trees, palm trees, and even a wagon wheel that was left by
the previous owner. Not something I would have bought, but it's kind of fun.
There's lots of the usual Halloween boos in the quilt
A little potion, green worm, ghost, and black widows!
It felt really "cool to be square" making this Halloween quilt!
I hope you've been having a good time checking out all the square projects...I know I have!
Here's who's been hopping all week. They'd love a visit and a comment from you, I'm sure.
