It needs some fun embellishments, and some quilting. But this little 18" square project is coming together very nicely. That outer border was a fat quarter hiding in the drawer with my Halloween fabrics. I'm so glad I dug down to the bottom of the drawer to see what I had because it's so cute!!
In the Missouri Star Block magazine they call this Trick or Treat Street and there are multiple blocks with the houses switching directions in a serpentine wave. It's adorable as a whole street. But since I didn't make a whole street - just one block, I'm going to call this Spooky Houses.
There is a bat to applique onto the sky, and I may add a couple more doors and/or windows to the houses as well. I'm open to ideas for quilting this - any thoughts you can share??

A couple of pumpkins at the doorsteps would be cute, too. Your border fabric is perfect for this fun little quilt.
Beyond cute!! I like the idea of pumpkins by the door too. Definitely add the bat or a spiderweb.
Great job! This is a fun piece, and it definitely needs some pumpkins and a spider or two.
You need a black cat on this one! :)
You read my mind! I've actually ordered a small black cat iron on applique. We'll see if it's the right size once it arrives.
