AndreeBergeron OFFLINE Posts: 722 Thank you received: 100	WOW! I think I'll do this one half-size too... the smallest squares look like they measure 1" x 1" (I see 54 of them on the inner border), so they would be 1/2 x 1/2... This is going to be fun! Andrée

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Some years I haven't done the BOM because I really did not like the colours. Then, I see what others put together with their own colour scheme - example - Sedona Star, and wow! I might try this one. It will be a challenge. These are not my colours at all. There's the challenge.

suehenyon OFFLINE Posts: 1796 Thank you received: 51	love the Halloween idea, pure brights, like summer, would work, too. I can't explain it, but have a picture in my mind. Dang it, I was hoping not to want to do next year's in hopes of getting some previous ones finished. This one looks like some hand work is involved.

It would look good as a Christmas or Halloween quilt too. Just change up the appliqué with alternative images. Reds, greens, golds for aChristmas quilt or more modern colours if you are a modern quilter, and oranges and autumn colours for Halloween quilt. You could even change out some of the traditional blocks if you don't like them - or you could make them all the same! Lots of possibilities on this one. I think the fabrics used on Lynette's quilt are from her own line of fabrics but there's nothing to stop anybody substituting fabrics of their own choice.
