More than a year ago, I made this quilt from the Buggy Barn pattern company. The technique for making this quilt is unlike any other quilt pattern I have ever made. While sewing, you can not see how the witch is going to be formed. It requires a leap of faith (and careful adherence to the instructions). After several hours of doubting the entire process…out flew this whimsical witch…
It wasn’t a huge time commitment and I rather enjoyed the puzzle-like technique that Buggy Barn patterns often employ.
This year, I pulled out the book again…the jack-o-lantern quilt has an interesting candy corn border around it…
And if you like cats, there is a great quilt for you to consider…
Hmm…is it worth adding another “Work in Progress” to my already considerable list???

I love both of these quilts, especially the witch. I tried to find the book you used but could’t. Could you send me the name or how I can get the witch pattern?

Lori, I’m working on the ‘If the Hat Fits’ quilt now! Your quilting has inspired me in so many ways. I can’t wait to get to that point! Thanks for sharing your photos of this quilt. (It was a leap of faith patching that together. Phew!) What did you do with the leftover block? I’m trying a different layout, and trying to use it in the quilt.

I just love this! I have this book on my short list… I’m also a fan of the jack-o-lantern quilt on the cover. Your quilting looks amazing.

Lori, you are amazing! Is this quilt hand or machine. I love it. You are the busiest, most focused person I know.

LOL! I’ve been accused of a lot of things-but never of being “focused” Thanks for your support!
