another flimsy finish!!!

i am full force into my T.O.D. mission and finished up another UFO.

this was a in-pices UFO sitting on the shelf for a while....i didn't have a Halloween quilt mostly because i didn't ever really like the Halloween fabrics on the market. then i found this cute little group.  i lucked out and found a current fabric for the outer border that fits in perfectly...

i was hoping to get it done by this Halloween, but i'll have it for next year and getting it done feels good- deadline met or not!

i'm trading quilting with another LAer. i want a specific design on it- Spiderwebs in purple thread by Munnich Designs. it's a computerized design and she has a computerized machine. i'll freemotion quilt a quilt for her in return...yes, i am quite capabile to quilt it myself, but at this point, just don't want too..i want it done.

check out this backing fabric i found....it's perfect. it almost made it into the outer border, but i found that other fabric that fit the feel of the quilt better.

i love the little lime green buzzard....and the cheeky owl.

now i have empty spot on my shelf...now to find the next UFO to finish up.

if you made it this far, thanks....i made a drawstring pouch for a gifty and went ahead and made two....so when my followers hit 300, i'll have a give away for the extra one!! surely 20 more people will admit they like my blog *grin*

the main fabric has neat quilt block illustrations and the words are 'instructions' for how to do various quilty stuff. i found the fabric at a garage sale a long time ago. i think i paid $3 for about 3 yards of it. the selvage is dated 1995.  here's the link to the tutorial i used.

that's all my wedding blocks on the wall behind it
