sewing Saturday...snowballs in brown and Halloween

Welcome to the sewing round-up for this week!
I've had a grand time in the studio sewing on my rainbow scrap challenge snowball blocks and this year's Halloween quilt.

Hey! Stop looking at that wall and look at me!

First the snowball blocks... in brown not my favorite color but they are really attractive together, no?

 I included some multi-color on black background fabrics as neutrals.

I have making them down to a science! I wonder if there will be any more colors suggested this year? This is only 10.
The Halloween quilt was so much fun to make, and started like this

... with some little applique owls in cute halloween prints. Out came the scrap bag of fun prints and leftover blocks.

The process for me was to fold the owls to approximate size, and start adding in little blocks, and squares, bits of fun color or motifs. Add a strip, then piece some blocks, make a paper pieced cat and a hat.

The top is all ready to quilt now! 32" X 52" -ish

Add more, take away, this area needs a big piece, this one needs blue, a skinny strip of green, or a row of little pumpkins will fit. Hee hee! What fun! I kept adding til it turned itself into about three long rows, then made them into the same basic size.

So the whole thing is so cute to me. I love:
the prints
the fence that comes and goes

the words boo and Halloween

tiny witches
 
the way the cat glows
The rayon florescent thread around owls

and the general fun it was to make.
Now time to quilt it!

All that and some left over blocks as a starter for another project
