I finished my Chillingsworth quilt last night while watching "Son of Frankenstein." I just love how it turned out. The border is from the Michael Miller "Nevermore" collection.
I used a peach colored Aurifil thread to outline the skeleton and quilt all of the interlocking spiderwebs. I thought white thread would be too bright and orange would fade into the background too much. The peach color has a nice glow. I also did some stitching around areas within the skeleton, if you look closely.
I did a loose, loopy feather pattern in the border in the same color. Because the border is busy, it doesn't stand out too much and it was a good place for me to practice.
I held up a corner so you can see the back - it's really cute purple wallpaper type fabric. I used the same fabric for the binding.
This is my new favorite quilt. I just love it. It's hanging in my dining room now.
Harry Potter quilt reveal day 9: Errol, the little owl who looks like a flying bit of lint. I love the fabric I found in my stash for him.
