My Favorite Quilt Block

Just in time to celebrate my favorite season...Autumn.... Carla of Creatin' In the Sticks  invited bloggers to share their favorite quilt block.

After much time away from blogging, this was the perfect opportunity to swing back into action!

Can I honestly say I have a Favorite? I do love star blocks, and Oh! that churndash! Although, a most favorite for this season is this adorable cat head block which I originally found posted by Amanda at Jedi Craft Girl. She used the Basic Cat head pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, so did I!
       


These were fun to put together using a few novelty ghost and skeleton prints but would look great in your favorite colors as well!
   


To add to the festive look I added a border full of bats and will bind it in a solid black once quilted.


I hope you take a look at the pattern and have fun stitching this one up!
And to waste not, I stitched up all of these pretty little 5.5" to 6" blocks with the trimmings. If you notice, most are HST. I think they will all be incorporated into a pumpkin wall hanging. What are your ideas?

Please join me in visiting all the other bloggers that participated in sharing their favorites!

      It was fun putting these together. That orange though??? it took me a couple of years to decide what I was going to use it with.

      Even if you do a couple of the blocks, what a great table runner or wall hanging it would make!

      I really have lots of difficulty throwing any fabrics out. I've made lots of little pin cushions for friends. I think now I must start making little stuffy animals for the grandbabies. and Maybe even my dog!

      The border was an impromptu purchase on line and found it in my stash. The quilt needed "something"...hoping this one worked.

    Two of my favorite things ever: cats and Halloween fabric! Your quilt is super cute, and I think I have seen a giant patchwork pumpkin somewhere before, your bonus blocks will look fabulous no matter what you do with them!
