My next quilt is going to be my first Halloween Quilt.
The fabric I’m using is ….
Lost & Found Halloween Fat Quarter Bundle
My Mind’s Eye for Riley Blake Designs
And I purchased the Bundle at Fat Quarter Shop. If you click on the name above it will take you to their online store.
I’m using 7 Fat Quarters and a White Jelly Roll.
The pattern will be the Brick Quilt and I’ll make it exactly as the one I shared in April 2015 … the Ambleside Quilt. (It will not be the same quilt in my Bricks Quilt Along.)
If I make the quilt without any changes …. here’s the details ….
- Quilt measures: 47 x 72
- Fabric needed: 7 Fat Quarters & White Jelly Roll + backing and binding fabric
- 7 rectangles/blocks across – 6 rectangles/blocks down.
- 7 patterns of fabric – you need 6 rectangles of each pattern.
- Each Rectangle measures: 5 x 10
- Attach a white 2-1/2 x 5 rectangle to the bottom of each 5 x 10 rectangle.
- 20 Sashing Strips (I used White Jelly Roll Strips)
- Attach a 2-1/2 x 5 white strip to the bottom of each rectangle (except bottom row – that will be a long sashing strip)
- If you can find 8 Fat Quarters you like … feel free to make it wider (I may do this myself).
Baby Quilt Along
I’m sorry I left you hanging with the Baby Quilt!! I will try to get it wrapped up in the next two weeks.
If I told you all the things that we’ve been dealing with in the past two months you would not believe me! I’ll just say I somehow have managed to keep my head above water and I thank God! Plus I know that things could be worse so I choose to focus on the positive!
On top of all the medical stuff – I had some business goals I was reaching for by year end, which was yesterday (Sept 30th). I’m happy to say I reached my goal of promoting to Platinum and I’m happy with my year end numbers. My goal for 2016 was to help my team promote and I have even bigger plans for them in 2017!!
Couch to Quilt
I received my Missouri Star Quilt Co 2016 Holiday Catalog yesterday and found something interesting!!! It’s called Couch to Quilt and they have a box that includes everything to make your first quilt …. it even includes the longarm quilting! I ordered it today to try it out. Click here for all the details.
See ya!
Angie, I have followed your site for years. You are so talented. I understand there are medical issues. I so well u derstand that. I am post cancer, colon, rectal, husband is blind, partial amp feet from diabetic issues. I am like you, keep moving along and trying to keep hobbies going. Thanks for this email.
hi Susan, I don’t wish health issues on anyone but it does help when others understand. Please take care of yourself!!!
Angie, I trust you are feeling better. It seems so many people
are having health issues (serious health problems) right now.
Even through the trials, God is blessing you in so many ways.
He is teaching and guiding you. God bless in all you do. And
thank you for being a blessing to me!
Thanks Marge!!
Hi Angie,
Looking forward to seeing your Halloween quilt. I have a charm pack Halloween quilt in the making. I still need to add some black sashing and then I will start a baby quilt for a friend of mine at work. She is expecting in March.
I send my quilts to MSQ for the final finishes. The Couch to Quilt is a good deal . I will be doing that for my friend.
Have a good day.
