The final clue for the Halloween Mystery quilt along at the local quilt shop came out. I finished all the blocks and started assembling the top.

Not my normal style, but it was a lot of fun to make. I even manged to finish the 4 applique blocks. I plan to add a couple of borders to make it lap quilt sized. As far as a final home, no decision on that yet. My sister and my niece are both big Halloween fans, so it could end up under the tree so they have something to use for the season next year. We'll see. I am hoping to get this one to finished flimsy stage, a back made and get it sent off for quilting by the end of the month. It would be nice to have another finish for the year.
There has been slow and steady progress on the Twinkle Star blocks. The last block was finished over the weekend.

Laying out the blocks with the colors along the diagonal works really well. This isn't the final layout, there needs to be a bit of moving around to address some of the really dark stars. For now these blocks are back in the project box. As much as I'd like to finish this one off, I have another graduation quilt that needs to be done by December, so the Twinkle Stars need to come off the design wall for now. I'm sure they will be back early next year.
It's going to be a long week at work, with lots going on. Sanity sessions in my sewing room are going to be very necessary.
Linking up with the usual Monday crowd.

I hope you get a lot of sanity sewing sessions Kate. I like your Twinkle Stars quilt a lot. It will be so pretty when finished.
Your Halloween blocks are so cute, and you already know I adore the Twinkle Stars!
Love the Halloween quilt! Those stars really do twinkle!!
Sanity sessions...I love that term! Have a good week.
Those stars! They really do twinkle!
Drooling over your Twinkle Star quilt! It's so pretty! The layout looks great right now and I'm sure it will even after rearranging the stars some more!
Your Halloween quilt blocks are cute-If I had been feeling better and not moved when I did that one might of been fun to do--
and your Twinkly Star quilt blocks are looking really good there all lined up--
and what did you think of the race yesterday????
enjoy, di
Your Halloween blocks are really cute and fun. It would be hard to give this quilt up!
Twinkle Stars are looking gorgeous, congrats on finishing all the blocks.
The Halloween quilt turned out so cute. It would be a good lap quilt, and just when the weather starts cooling off if someone wants to use it seasonally. The Twinkle Stars are looking fabulous. I liked the layout, but when I read your comment about moving things around for the dark stars, then I noticed them too. I think it looks fine just as is, but I know how it is when your eye goes to something and you can’t stop looking at it.
SO much fun. Although the Twinkle Stars are stunning -I say that every time i see them, I am crushing on the little ghosts today :-)
The stars are twinkling and they are so pretty. Cute Halloween pieces.
Your Halloween quilt is cute! I agree, not your usual style, but I bet it was fun for a little change of pace. Someone will really enjoy having it!
