One last Halloween Quilt



Halloween is almost here, and by the time we get back from quilt market it will be upon us.  By this time tomorrow morning we should be well on our way to Houston.  Our plan is once we get there, we'll pick up the shipped items at our hotel and head to the convention center and set up our booth.  We want to get it done tomorrow so that we have all day Friday to have fun......we'll shop and find good eats for the day.  I hope to do some blogging every day to let you see and be in on some of the action.
Now, back to the quilt.  It is a Jan Patek design which was shared at one of our last quilt group gathering.  Trudy is is sharing the quilt with us, hopes to have it quilted by next Halloween.

Today the plan is to have my wonderful helper start cutting kits for the Silent Night quilt.  I have piles of wonderful wool all lined up and ready.  The challenge will be to figure out how to include the fabric for the border.  I have started cutting 2 inch strips of light and dark to include for the log cabin blocks.  I hope there is enough in each kit, but you may find you will need to add a few strips from your stash.  I haven't had time to figure out the price yet.
