The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Jen Mulder

Here's my entry for Project Quilting 9.6 Scraptastic challenge:

I call it "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" it finished at 72" x 96".

I pulled all of my Halloween fabrics - and then purchased another 12.  I used my Accuquilt to cut 2.5 inch strips of the Halloween prints.   Then I grabbed some black on black and black and white prints for squares and my scraps that were orange, green or purple for other squares.    I have about 40 fabrics in this quilt.   

I sorted the fabrics into purples, oranges and greens/greys and inserted a black and white square and a color square between the Halloween prints.   From there I cut them down to  6.5 inch squares and proceeded to make a rail fence style pattern with the blocks.  

As the top is very visually exciting - I loosely quilted with a large meander with screaming orange thread and bound it in an off black.    The back is purple ghost fabric.  

Thanks for looking - I create in Madison, WI

PS – this is big enough that it also qualifies for the Scrap Quilt Challenge!
