Who Talked Me Into This???

I LOVE autumn and especially Halloween. Below was Halloween in my old home!!

So, I have made LOTS of Halloween dolls and decor and quilts over the years…

I fell in love with Kelly’s postage stamp quilt on her blog, Charming Chatter, and decided to use up those scraps to make a Halloween postage stamp quilt.

I completely emptied that bin of smaller scraps and used some of the many Halloween fat quarters I’ve collected to cut lots and lots

postage stamp 1

and lots of 2” squares.

And I’m sewing the squares into 16 patch blocks which will finish at 6”.  I’ve got about 30 sewn up so far…

This will take  F O R E V E R!!!
