My schedule tells me it's time to get out these embroidered blocks I made several years ago and play around with a setting.
Eight blocks is not my favorite number to work with. I can find a pattern and stitch up another so I have nine - but I'd rather work with what I have and get this one done.
I think I'm going with this setting of three down and two on either side, with some sort of blocks in the corners. I found a pumpkin print that has the same style of pumpkins as the embroidery, but I think it's a little too busy for a border. I also need to decide if I want to put contrasting sashing between the squares. The squares are also going to be trimmed down to a bit smaller than they are now.
In a few weeks you can look at the completed quilt and remember when I was planning all this. Knowing me, I'll change everything.
The pattern is called Jolly Halloween and is based on the vintage postcards of artist Ellen Clapsaddle. It's available on Craftsy.

Eight blocks is a hard number to deal with, but I like the layout you've chosen. I always enjoy your holiday projects, so excited to see you work on this!
