The October Project

Happy October everyone!! Can you believe it is October already? To me, October is the start of the holiday season. I love pulling out all of my Autumn/Halloween decorations and getting the house ready for the trick or treaters. But there is one thing missing. A quilt. So I am making one.

Here are the fabrics waiting to be cut into squares. I am still deciding what kind of quilt I want to make, and am really leaning towards a "plus" quilt. It satisfies my love of patchwork squares, and adds an extra design element into the mix. But my challenge is getting this quilt made within the next few weeks so we can use it during the month of October, so I definitely will be making a smaller version. Wish me luck :)

    I just can't move that fast, still working on quilts I began this spring! I do love that candy corn fabric, adorable:>) Watching other people actually finish quilts inspires me to work on mine....sometimes. Lol

    Hi neighbor,
    I'm in Florida now but originally from Cleveland. So I figure you'd be my neighbor if I was still there. hehe!

    Love to visit your little cottage and see what project your working on. Always a joy. Thanks!!
