Linda Hooper - "They Only Come Out at Night" from friendship blocks

I Love this quilt!
About a year and half ago I put out a request for friendship blocks with a Halloween theme. The request was for blocks any size rectangle or square with a dark background. I absolutely loved all of the blocks I received.

With all the different sized blocks, setting them was a little tricky.  I added more black background to many of the blocks and set the others in brown window frames to give me the same size square blocks to sew together.

To frame the quilt, I added prairie points to the outside edge and finished it with a 1” stuffed binding which Sharon Fry showed me how to do. Thank you Sharon.

Thank you to everyone who made a block for me. This quilt will be treasured for many years to come.
