Skull quilt complete

Happy to say I’ve achieved my One Monthly Goal (OMG) which was to quilt and bind Richard’s Day of the dead, Sugar Skull (or just Skull) quilt. 

My original thought was to piece all the leftover bits of the skull fabric together for a backing, then my husband got the idea that I should make a skull mosaic, I liked his idea. 

Quilted with a Sugar Scull pantograph called Fiesta by Sandrah Burrier. 

A close up of some of the fabrics. 

Glad to have it finished to decorate our bed for the month of October, I think he also wants to display it on Halloween. 

I enjoy participating Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal, it helps me to stay on track and complete projects, now to decide on what to finish for October.

Time to finish the skull quilt

I’ve chosen my husband’s Day of the Dead (skull) quilt for my September One Monthly Goal (OMG), it is my intention to get it quilted and bound. This way it will be done for the Halloween month, he likes to decorate for Halloween and he’s already thinking of ways to display this quilt.

If you’ve been following my blog, or Facebook, you might already have seen these pictures of the shadow box style front  – 

 And the mosaic back – 

Check back at the end of the month to see the pantograph that I will be using to quilt it.  Participating in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal.
