Happy Ghastlie Halloween!!

I finished my Ghastlies quilt last week.  I had the top completed for a whole year and I guess I just needed the push of an upcoming Halloween to get it quilted and the binding on.

This fabric still cracks me up.


I practiced some free motion quilting on this quilt.  It's hard to see but I quilted in the pink on each portrait.
 
 
 This is so fun!

 
I'm glad I dug this out.
 


Oops, one more pin to remove!!

This is what I chose for the backing and then a pink binding.


The finished size is 55" X 55".
Happy Halloween.  Stay safe.

I love that not all your frames are perfect rectangles - it's much more interesting with the mix of shapes!

That fabric line reminds me of Edward Gorey's art… :-)

I think these Ghastlies are going to still be popular many years from now. They are such a wonderful design.
