I finished my first quilt ever a few weeks ago, for our soon-to-be niece, expected to be born right around Halloween. Of course Thomas and I are obsessed with Halloween, so our baby gift had to be Halloween-related, how could we pass up this opportunity? This baby will be so spoiled for Halloween/birthday time, that’s for sure.

I did different quilting stitches around the different fabrics, to go with the pattern/images. Since it was my first time quilting on my machine, the stitching isn’t perfect by any means, but it turned out awesome. I’m really proud of how it turned out! The fabrics are mostly by Riley Blake, Boo! To You! collection — purchased from Intown Quilters (they have the best selection of fabric in Atlanta, maybe anywhere). The back is made with a green cotton Minky Dot that gives the quilt all the thickness it needs, so I left out batting for a more natural drape. So cute!
