I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilts #249: Halloween Warm Wishes 2020

 

I started this top back in May or June then put it aside, but with Halloween only a couple of months away, I thought it was time to finish it.  The pattern is Warm Wishes by Atkinson Designs.  The strip colors are light orange, purple, and lime green which complement the Dia De Los Muertos print on the center blocks.  I quilted it with stitch-in-the-ditch along the rows and columns and criss-cross diagonal quilting.

The backing is a simple white and lime green zig zag.  I used remnant pieces that I sewed together for the batting.  The quilt measures 60" square so it's a generous lap-size.  It's going in the pile of quilts for Project Linus waiting for the time when the organization is ready for donations.
