in july, our halloween and christmas fabric started rolling into the shop. everytime i worked, i was staring straight at this cute new moda line of halloween fabrics called “hey boo”. it was completely different from all of my other halloween fabrics and after ogling it for a couple weeks, on one slow afternoon, i spent my day’s pay buying every last print, including a panel.
i decided on sawtooth blocks, mixing in the panel prints as the star centers on some of them. i do wish we had ordered some of the other colorways in the collection because it came out a little more pink than i would have liked, even though the pink and purple and soft oranges were really what caught my eye in the first place.
anyways. i don’t have much to say about this one. i sort of barely remember making it. it came together quick. and made a nice addition to our halloween decor. but in the end i was less crazy about it than i thought i would be. i think this is often the case when i use an entire fabric line. will i ever learn?
i lied. i do have two things to say about the process. one. a lot of trimming on those flying geese pieces. and two. our robot vacuum got lost one night and wandered into the quilt room and sucked up an entire row of the quilt that i had laid out on the floor. so there’s a nice little brown stain as a constant reminder of the harrowing experience this quilt encountered.
