melanezoe Halloween Country - This was a serial published in Australian Patchwork magazined and chosen as the "row quilt" of the year by Nacogdoches Quilt Guild. I chose not to do the illustrated country-charm colors, instead opting to use up my huge stash of Halloween fabrics (and thereby necessitating some changes in design, too.) This took a whole year of fun and angst, but was well worth the effort. It was also my first applique effort, as shown in the center-block closeup.
