At last....

It is finished!  I started this Halloween quilt many months ago and it is completely finished now 
(well I need to put a label on it but I can add that later) 
and I can't wait for October 1 to get here so I can hang it up!

I am going to sew a pocket in the back and it will hang where my bird quilt is now on my kitchen wall.

I found most of the fabrics at JoAnn but had to order some from etsy- the green spider border, the big polka dot, and the stripe jacket fabric.

This quilt was all applique, tons of it! I did it all on the machine.

It was so fun to pick out all the fabrics!






The hand stitching on the bottles took forever but it was worth it for the look.

Once I appliqued the top I took it to someone that has a long arm machine and they quilted the top, batting, and backing together (this was well worth the $ because I never would have been able to add the details she did with her machine).
Look how cute the pumpkins are on the 4 corners...

She added in Halloween words and outlined all the spiders and webs on the border!


I added a lot of small details with beads, buttons, and words once it was quilted. 







The swirls are all over each square but are in different colors so that they go with the various fabrics.

I can't believe it is finished!

Now I have to work on my Christmas, Valentine's, owl, and another bird quilt!  I need to slow down on buying more patterns until I finish what I have!
