FO: The Haunting of Starlight Manor

On By wanderingcatyarns

The weekend is over, so it’s back to the Quilt Parade. Next up, Lemmy’s version of the Haunted Hallowe’en mystery

Since I knew this one would be going in the shop, I expanded it out with the star borders to make it lap size. It’s still a small quilt – just 48″ x 52″ – but it’s a great size for throwing over your legs on those cool autumn nights.

Like my wall hanging, this one has some fussy-cut details…

The fabrics are a mix of the Kitty Corn and Owl-o-ween lines, which are these soft colours with great vintage details.

This one was a lot of fun to sew, and quilt! Because I had so much open black space, I decided to have a little fun with the quilting… and quilted little stars randomly among the loops.

And to finish it all off…

How fun is the fabric I got for the back and the binding? I actually wasn’t planning on quilting this one right away, because I didn’t have a back for it. I figured I’d stop in at Lens one day, and get some flannel for it. But then I popped on Missouri Star Quilts a few days after I finished the top, and they had two yard cuts of this on sale. It was a total no brainer!

If you’d like to make it yours…. it’s in the shop.

  5. That is such an awesome quilt!!! I love your fabrics and the way you expanded the size. The narrow border and those cornerstones and the black border are pretty spectacular. Your quilting design just adds to the beauty of this quilt.

    So much to catch up on!! The SAHRR finish is spectacular!!!! You knocked it out of the park. And the Halloween finches are adorable. But the poor baby! I do hope he’s all recovered. My dog has a few of those, they freak me out, but I know they are not dangerous.
