Happy Halloween!!
My quite large Halloween version of One Block Wonder is hanging in the dining room this month. I made this one in a class a few years ago, and really enjoy pulling it out to display during October. It has a panel in the middle, and the hexies were cut from 6 more identical panels. There are still a few leftover hexie pieces in a drawer.
The bench pillow top (18" x 36") came together well. There were SO MANY pieces to cut, but I'm liking the results to this point. I'm still trying to decide how to quilt it. I had a leftover piece of batting just the right size, but still need to dig out some muslin to back that pillow top before quilting.
Black isn't usually a color I associate with Christmas, but admittedly it does allow the greens, gold, pink and red to pop. The kit has more of the solid black for binding but I think I'm going to use a red - maybe even a red stripe. In the stash I found a subtle green print for that envelop back. The pattern called for the gold, but the piece wasn't large enough, plus I didn't want a gold back to this.
