As Halloween approached I decided to get it out again and work on it. When we went to Scarborough at half term I found some orange and black which I thought would be perfect for the borders. The reason that it was not finished was because I could not decide on the borders so now I had no excuse.
This is a blog to record my quilting journey. Quilting is my passion. I make quilts, teach patchwork and quilting in South Yorkshire UK and am the co founder of 3 Quilt Groups in Yorkshire.

Halloween Quilt Top Completed.
Remember this quilt? It comes near the top of my UFO list and it is actually the second quilt I ever started. One of these days I will show my first quilt!

First I added the stripe border. It is very bright and the jury is out on whether it is the right orange or not but I think it really lifts the quilt - which was in danger of looking a bit dull.

It looks great - especially for a second quilt! Can we see it in real life next weekend please?
Oh definately it works!It looks great. I like the fabric in the stars, kind of unusual it seems but can't figure why...larger print maybe?
