My Small World Halloween quilt

I bought this pattern booklet by Jen Kingwell about a year ago.  It is called "My Small World".
I made my version with Halloween Fabrics from my stash that I have collected over the past 20 years. Three bins full.
I started this quilt on April 15th. I bound it on May 20th. I added a Castle and an Undertaker. I added a Martini Lounge and a Hot Air Balloon. You can go on and on with this.

Here it is with the sky in progress.

The hearse for the Undertaker and the Martini glass.

Skeleton Party on the second floor.

Had the alien fabric so I had to use it somewhere.

I'm about half way done here.

I just had to add a Castle. I eliminated the hexagon hill. This is a good close up of all the random sky fabrics.

My neighbor gave me the Hot Air Balloon. I cut it out and used baker's twine for the ropes. 
I just zig-zagged over them. I didn't quilt over the balloon part and it pops out a little.








These are the first blocks I made for this quilt.

I love this skeleton guy with the rattles.
Hey leave me a comment and tell me which part is your favorite. Tell me what you would do differently. I just might make another one.

Temecula Secret Santa Mystery part 3

These are the blocks for part 3 of the Temecula Secret Santa Mystery quilt.

Here are all of the pieces together so far.


I'm trying to keep better track of the quilts that I make. I'm using this regular spiral bound notebook and some washi tape and stamps that I've had for a few years. I used to do a lot of scrapbooking at one time. I still use the supplies to make cards as needed. I just started this book so here's the first page with instructions for this quilt. I'm especially trying to keep track of the finishes for each year. So far I have finished 40 or so projects for 2018. They are not all posted on blog. I need to get on that!
