It's nearing Halloween! For me the best part of Halloween has always been the chocolate, but my husband is a consummate Scary Everything lover. His favorite type of movie is the one that makes me jump right off the couch!
Anyways, so when I heard a mutual friend was pregnant and expecting her baby on - you guessed it - Halloween (and she's as big a fan of Halloween as my husband!) I just had to jump in and try something. There is a lot of really great Halloween fabric out there, some of which I still pine for, but here's what I chose for her:

| A Spooky Beginning? |
Which eventually turned into this:

| Spookyville! |
Of course my husband then looked at it and said hopefully, "that's really adorable honey, is it for us?" So now I have to make US a Halloween quilt too!
