I was so busy all day today! The time just seemed to slip away from me. I've been working on finishing the quilting on my Halloween quilt. I'm making great progress. I'm already at the bottom row! I just wanted to show you the quilting on a few of the last blocks. I just echoed around this ghost. I thought it would fit in well with the whole ghost concept. I'll be changing my thread to white to quilt inside the ghost. I want him to stay white!!
I wanted to make swirls in the background of this block. However, there are so many different types of swirls that it took me awhile to choose the right one. This one is very simple and consists of a large swirl with a simple echo around it. The skulls were just stitched in the ditch but it took forever. I couldn't connect any of the dark features so I had to break thread for each eye, nose and mouth.
That's what I did today. I'm almost at the bottom border! I think this quilt will be done for Halloween! I'm so excited!!
Simply gorgeous quilting, Rosemary--I especially like that ghostly "Ghost" with the white thread and radiating lines...very spooky!!:))))

Thanks, Julierose! That's the effect I was looking for!
DeleteYou are moving right along, Rosemary. The quilting is looking great. It is fun getting another glimpse of those fun halloween blocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! This quilt isn't as large as what I usually make so that's making it go faster too. Such a fun project!!
