Halloween Plus Quilt Top Finished

This quilt top was pretty much an impulse creation.  Some of the impulse was made up from the frustration of having the entire Boo Crew fat quarter bundle sitting on my desk for months and some of it was made up of the simple desire of wanting a holiday quilt for my own.  So, I settled on Jeni Baker's Plus Quilt fairly quickly and I started cutting squares.  With a few interruptions, I finally finished the quilt top.

This quilt is pretty quick to sew up and I'm pleased with the results.  I really enjoyed the time I spent arranging and rearranging the pluses, which did take a chunk of time because I'm so indecisive!

I also really enjoy the fabric a lot more than I did when it was a stack of fat quarters.  It will be a nice Halloween decoration without being too over the top with orange and black.

Out of all the prints, I really enjoy the little monsters!  They are so adorable and I just love their cute little expressions!

I'm hoping to whip up a backing and quilt this baby really quick so that I can enjoy it before Halloween!
