Dare-to-Be-Different Halloween Work In Progress
I
really enjoy participating in WIP Wednesday, hosted by Lee of Freshly Pieced.
Progress on my current WIP has been slow, and last Wednesday several readers
asked to see more about it. How can I resist such a request?
The
pattern for this quilt is “Dare-to-Be-Different” by Karrie Winters, and can be
found in the Summer 2011 issue of Stitch magazine. The purple and orange color
scheme reminded me of some of the Halloween fabric lines currently one the
market, and from there it was just a hop, skip and a jump away to my own
version of the quilt.
I
started this quilt last October, made most of the blocks and then stalled once
Halloween had passed. Knowing that it would be a slog without seasonal
inspiration, I boxed it up and moved on to other things. I didn't pull it out
again until the success of my speedy St. Louis Sixteen quilt and the return of
fall (or the promise of its return) inspired me to start again. As of today,
the top is half finished. Before you know it, this baby will be ready for
basting! I'm playing around with a quilting idea that might take awhile, but is
very tempting.
The
backing will be Pearl Bracelet by Lizzy House in black. I'm thinking maybe
scrappy orange for the binding. Last year, I bought a solid purple for the
binding, but I'm not really feeling it now.
Well,
I hope you all have enjoyed this process post. Thank you for your interest!
