The bloom blocks are all pieced and the sashing attached for my Halloween Blooms project.
I went with a scrappy background for my blocks, a change of pace for me. I don't mind a background with a design, but several in one project is usually too busy for my taste, but I think this scrappy background worked fine.
The hard part, once I decided I could live with a scrappy background, was deciding on the sashing fabric.
I didn't want the sashing to stand out, but at the same time, I didn't want the sashing to blend in, shockingly I found this sashing fabric in my stash that I think does the job. It's from the line Bungle in the Jungle, an animal print themed line of fabric.
I just need to add three rows of border fabric and this top will be done.
Halloween Blooms is going so well I'm thinking I'll have time to squeeze in a pumpkin project while it's still pumpkin season, hurrah!!
