I have been seeing lots of Halloween quilts using the checked orange or black for the pumpkins. And I have been wanting to make one so bad. Friday afternoon I finished up a table runner for my Etsy shop and I had time to play. I had just been telling my buddy, Wendy, that I needed a squirrel to come visit my house so it seemed like the perfect time to start my Halloween wall hanging.
I hope to get it quilted this week and ready to hang on my wall on Oct 1st. So glad I let that squirrel in my house!! Who knew squirrels could be sew fun;) I haven't had a lot of time to let loose and play and make something for myself so it felt great.

This a fun Fall wall hanging. I love your orange and black border. I’m thinking an orange and black border on a tea towel I have (because it will never be used as a tea towel), so your piece is inspiring for my little project. The stars and the checked pumpkins look great together. I agree the white with black dots is a perfect background.
ReplyDeleteThat is just darling. Isn't it fun when something can come together so quickly?
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you had all the fabrics you needed in your stash - and it's a cute quilt with those check fabrics! Yay for the squirrel!
ReplyDeletecute and like Wendy says so nice you had it all in your stash.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels are fun and halloween seems to be calling my name too! 3 little projects before the squirrels can come it! Always fun to see what the stash turns into.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is going to be SEW super cute, Vicki!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Halloween is coming, and you'll be ready!
ReplyDeleteI’m a fan of checks and plaids! I wonder why I don’t have an orange check in my stash! I had better fix that ! Your wall hanging is great!
ReplyDeleteIt's just adorable! The right amounts of orange and black together.
ReplyDeleteMighty cute squirrel ya got there!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Love Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Cute, cute, cute. I love the fabrics you chose for your pumpkins and stars. It is just perfect for October 1st and the season. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Love the traditional orange and black. This will be fun to have hanging up!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is wonderful, Vicki! I love the plaid pumpkins, the dotted background, and all those fun orange and black prints you have! Glad you got to play with this neat design this week.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute. We are thinking alike today with our Halloween projects.
ReplyDeleteOh what a terrific squirrel! I too love the checks that are showing up in more and more places.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you allowed this squirrel into your house! It's such a great Halloween wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteIt's great - love the stars added with the pumpkins. Much easier pumpkin than the ones Edi and I made - one of those never again kinds of things. =)
ReplyDeleteVery cute Vicki! I have been slowly collecting ginghams...I always love them in other people's projects. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteTotal great fall quilt. It can hang for November too if you want to keep it up.
ReplyDeleteSuper fun quilt, Vicki! Love the gingham. I really like those Primrose Garden patterns, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, Hello autumn squirrel! So glad you had an inspirational squirrely visitor! This is really cute and using the gingham check for the pumpkins works perfectly :)
