Circle Halloween Quilts!

Last year our quilt group exchanged Halloween circles and made Halloween quilts... I went a little crazy... I made three!!! The first I made for a friend who loves Halloween. This is the first quilt I've given away, which is quite a compliment! It's smaller so it can be a display quilt or wall quilt. I love it... and the binding is actually glow in the dark!

The next one I made for myself and I love it! The jack-o-lantern border is especially fun! I put it on my couch from September 1 until Thanksgiving!

This last one is totally different, but I love it too. I have it on our love seat from September 1 until Thanksgiving! I have been tucking it under since I didn't have the binding done. I bought this fancy tool to help me do the binding quicker and I couldn't figure it out. A friend came by this week and helped me with it and we got it done! I love the striped borders and binding!


And I had to share the back of this quilt... I had so much Halloween fabric from making all those circles, that I decided I couldn't buy more... so I pieced this together and I think it turned out pretty cute!



Now can you believe I still have Halloween fabric left over? What am I going to do with it all?

  3. I guess you will just have to make more Halloween quilts with all of that extra fabric! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent!
