Something Wicked Blog Hop



It's the final day of the Something Wicked Halloween Blog Hop hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt.

I love the Halloween hop each year, it's one of my favorites.  I have signed up to play along almost every year, so I am a little sad it will be ending.  There is always so much spookiness to see during the Halloween hops and this week has been no exception! 

Be sure to check out all the blogs at the bottom of the post to see all the wicked inspiration!






For my project, I made a Halloween Log Cabin quilt.  I have been short on sewing time lately but still wanted a new quilt to drape over the couch and this one went together fairly quick.




It is made with twelve inch blocks and some sashing. 




Batch sewing the blocks made the quilt come together pretty fast.




Check out my YouTube video for more details on how I made it and how long it took from start to finish.  There is even a Free Pattern you can follow along with: Halloween Log Cabin Free PDF Pattern





I took the quilt downtown for a photo shoot.





My downtown has some unique buildings that make perfect backdrops.




And the sun was shining just right to pick up the quilting.  You can't see it too good in the photo, but I used orange thread. It turned out fantastic!




This is an old tobacco barn that is no longer in use, and was moved downtown for historical purposes.




It had a nice rustic bench perfect for my quilt.




And some old grinding stones.



I used more Halloween prints from my stash for the back. So it's wickedly spooky on both sides!

Again, make sure to check out all the wicked projects this week!

Happy Stitching!!
