What a Load a Scrap: Happy Halloween Everyone!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

This is a Scarecrow quilt that I made from a Red Wagon pattern using vintage feedsacks exclusively. Sorry for the cock-eyed photo. From where it is hanging it wasn't possible to take a full on pic.

Here are a couple of the blocks:

The backing is all feedsack. I had a number of this pattern - maybe ten or more. It seemed to suit the quilt so quite a few of these were used here.

And, as always - Happy Birthday Dad! He is 84 today!

My puppy did a lot barking and protecting me from the neighborhood scarecrow decorations this year, it was pretty funny - silly dog.
