Halloween Two-Step (2025)

Meet my Halloween version of Two-Step.  

Halloween Two-Step

I worked on this quilt off and on in 2024, mostly at Scrap Club and as a leader/ender project. The top was finished in January 2025 at a quilt retreat and was finally quilted, bound and labeled in late May.

I quilted this one at home with my trusty walking foot and a decorative stitch that looks like baseball stitching ⚾ ... or maybe Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas. ๐Ÿ’€

Pin basted and auditioning thread color

Chartreuse vertical stitches.   ⚾ or ๐Ÿ’€?

The color palette was inspired by the pumpkin fabric on the back (Art Gallery, I think), and it was made with 100% stash.  Yay me! {pats self on back}

Love those little pumpkins ๐Ÿ’œ

Two-Step is found in the book Scrap School by Lissa Alexander and was designed by Amanda Jean Nyberg - Crazy Mom Quilts.

For me, quilts are generally Gifts, Donations, or Keepers.  This one's a KEEPER! 
At 52 x 64", it's just big enough for me, and I LOVE it!  ๐Ÿฉท❤๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŽƒ
