Chills and Thrills

How did it get to be the end of October? 
I'm not sure, but
 it's time once again, to 
have a mini quilt ready to share.

After posting and sharing 
some of my Halloween quilts
a couple of weeks ago,
I decided why not make another one!
I had found a pile of Halloween fabrics
 and started pulling out an
assortment of purples, oranges and blacks.


Why not work with the quilter's trilogy. 
How about starting with orange and black nine patches and make a
checkerboard.


Pinwheels might be
nice to add next. 
 Why not make them purple and black.

I used fabrics mostly from my stash, but
I have to admit, that I needed a few other pieces.
A few more bright purples and
that black and white dot. 
 Isn't that right, Pat B!
I was spotted at my LQS!!

To finish the trilogy
how about making a few flying geese?


I thought about adding another pieced border, but
a reality check said, no more.
Besides, what was left to add! 

You'll smile at the fabric for the last border.


Holey, moley, that's an oldie!

I guess that's why you have a stash.
You never know when you might need
a special piece buried deep down in the fabric bins.

I found a hidden backing too and 
look at the date.  

Too funny!!

Well, at this point, this Halloween
treat will have to wait for a finish.

 on Halloween.

Our fearless leader, Wendy, The Constant Quilter,
continues to coordinate all of us who continue to
make minis each month.
(Even though, mine never really qualify 
as a true mini)
I hope you take the time to check
out the variety and creativity of the others.
Quilters are amazing!

  11. What a dazzling little Halloween piece. It just sparkles. I love Debbie Mumm. I still have a bunch of her fabrics but they are mostly Christmas. They are safely hoarded a way for just the right project.

  18. What a wonderful big mini for halloween. I so enjoyed your halloween post and shared it with several friends.
    The progression of blocks is just great and the little polkadot and stripe pull it all together.

  19. Spectacular! And, there are no size requirements in this mini madness! I love cheddar and purple together. It is so much fun to make medallions that just keep going around. Yours is a true winner! And, yes we do love out ancient fabrics, that Patrick Lose fabric is fabulous. Thanks for another great mini!

  20. The backing fabric is a wow! Fun, fun.

    What has happened to Debbie Mumm? Does she still design things? I used to have two or three of her books and perused through them regularly. I made a few of the quilts which I don't think I have any of now.

  21. On to a thousand! It will be there before you know it. Isn't it strange how in a way it seems the world has stopped in many ways but still the weeks fly by like crazy?
    I am a purple lover and the purple you used looks great with the orange.

  22. I'm catching up on my blog reading...
    Chills and Thrills is a fun one - it definitely brought a smile to my face! (it doesn't hurt that I love the color purple)
    Thanks for all the blog posts! I always enjoy hearing what you've been up to, and maybe learning something fun or just being inspired along the way.

  23. This is such a cute quilt! So much fun. Always enjoy coming to your blog to catch up!

  24. I don't know why Bloglovin hasn't been showing me your posts - or maybe I am really behind in reading them. Love the colors of your Halloween quilt. It is wonderful - a great way to use the older fabric. My minis are not miniature quilts either, just smaller than a lap size.
