ha ha I also have mine to finish by Halloween…I used your pattern to make the top and I bought backing fabric before Joann’s closed shop, but it is still sitting in my WIP pile. If @gozer gets her done, I will be motivated into doing mine…ha ha ha

Extra pressure @aimr , I need it! I have been planning this quilt forever. Hopefully I can get it done by Halloween this year! :joy:

Side note, I know it was discussed last year, but I can’t find the post. What are the advantages/disadvantages between Polyester and Cotton quilt tags?

That is really neat and I like how colorful it is! I should make this for LittleBookLover, I think he’d enjoy it and I definitely have fun fabric for the folds and the filler squares.
I still need to make his disappearing 9-patch I-Spy quilt :grimacing:. Hmm, that would be a good time for me to set aside fabric for this one.

@gozer, you should get yourself some bingo cards. It looks like you could easily check off a few prompts with this quilt!

It may not look like it, but I am thiiis :ok_hand: close to getting a Bingo! Once I add the hanging pockets and binding to my mystery quilt (my last two steps because I quilted it yesterday!), I will be able to check off every remaining prompt in the ‘L’ column!

Is there a June prompt yet?

Yes -
June Prompt:
Inspired by:
Winter, the desert, or birds

I didn’t realize I hadn’t added it to the prompt list at the top. Thank you for the heads up, it is now added.

And, drum roll please, i finished my quilt top!!

I have to cut the binding, rewatch the video on how to do the binding because I kind of forgot how to do it, piece the back fabric, quilt, and actually bind it. Just having this much done is completely amazing to me. I just stare at it. LOL!

That is beautiful! I love the pastel Halloween thing and I am not a pastel colors fan.

I fell in love with these fabrics. They are Halloween, but not in your face Halloween. The pinks strips are actually more of a coral too.

@gozer that’s lovely, the fabrics are fab!

@AudiobookLover we need a special bingo prompt for wrestling with a machine…and winning

I have made stitches with my long armer. Yippee, turns out she’s a thread snob.

It sounds like you deserve a crafty merit badge! Congratulations on getting it to work. I’m really excited for you to start using your machine!

Also, such a bingo prompt may very well appear in the future :wink: .

I’m just sitting here enjoying the view on this gray day…

I’m so happy to have this quilt done and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!

Plus, I picked up the perfect label yesterday:

I also picked up these labels, which are perfect for projects I complete when I’m at my house:
