Not entirely abandoned...

So yes, I finished the guitar quilt this summer. It looks awesome. It's used nightly. All are happy.

But of course, now it's Halloween time. This means it's time for bats. I love bats. Even though I once had an encounter with one in my apartment on Hallows Eve, I still think they are cute. Especially silly cartoony looking ones. So... my next plan is to create a "bat quilt". This is my grand idea anyhow. I was thinking of creating a spin off on one the designs from The Modern Quilt Workshop (much like I did with the guitar quilt), but I think I'll be crazy and do something simple like Denyse Schmidt's "A Day at the Beach" Well, whatever direction I decide to go in regards to the piecing (I'm beginning to think that DS's Beach would be the best way to go), I do know that I want the quilting to be rows of bats. Ooh! Title already in my head...

I'm thinking that the front will be shades of black/white/gray. The backing I may piece together, but would love to include some fun Halloween print fabric. So excited! I love the planning phase! I can't wait to get started...
