Punky-Wunkin Quilt-A-Long

Welcome!

I would like to thank Connecting Threads for sponsoring this year's Quilt-A-Long on my blog.  Today, on their blog Notions they featured my wall-hanging version of this project as lucky #13 of the Gifty Galore features.  I am thrilled to be a part of this program.  You can down-load your copy of this pattern exclusively from Connecting Threads HERE.  Also, all of the awesome fabrics shown you can purchase from my blog sponsor at Connecting Threads.

I like this quilt.  I can decorate with it all harvest season--September through November!  It's a great seasonal project.  It works for both Halloween and Thanks Giving.

Wall-Hanging Version

 For the quilt-a-long, I will be sewing the entire quilt as a throw-sized quilt.  It'll be revealed here!

This is the Punky-Wunkin Throw Quilt measuring 72 inches.

And...for a Halloween flare, here is a diagram of the wall-hanging done in Halloween fabrics--the Rest In Pieces fabric line from Connecting Threads.

This would be awesome done in Halloween prints!  Great for October decorating.

It's going to be awesome!
