Going Batty

After 4 months of floor replacements, ceiling replacements and a new wall in my Daughter's room, I can finally get serious with my UFOs. I finished the 5 BOM for Sew Spooky and was anxiously awaiting the finishing kit, month 6.

 Well month 6 is a misnomer! I hand embroidered the original 5 blocks and made the 2 additional blocks and added the sashing for the center section. I then pieced the candy corn borders and added the second border.
 


 
I now need to applique 14 bats with 28 eyes onto sections for the next border.  To set these borders I will need to make 4 appliqued corner squares.  After this is together, then comes the stars to be appliqued onto the borders!
 
I am going BATTY!!!
 
 
I decided that my new fmily room needed a new quilt.  I made up the 1600 inch Jelly Roll from YouTube by the Missouri Quilt Co.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU  I added a border and it is waiting to be quilted.
 
 
Not to want to miss anyting new, I decided to take a tuffet class at the Round Bobbin in Horsham, PA, and have 6 of 8 wedges completed. 
 
I should have the Sew Spooky top completed and ready for quillting by next week.
 
Wish me luck and if you know of a fab long arm quilter, please comment.
