HALLOWE'EN TIME
Tonight, upon your pillow,
Close your eyes and hide your head,
For the fairies and the goblins
Will be hovering round your bed.

My blank block for FFT18 with CQIA
I have decided to bite the bullet and join in a Fabulous-First-Timers Round Robin with CQI. I can't join in any of the other swaps until I've done a FFT - this groups is FFT18. I chose a vintage image of a girl asleep with fairies and goblins flying around her. The words below the image are:
I have tried to choose fabrics with the same colours as those in the picture. Even though I ironed each patch after I sewed it on, the light reflected from the satin fabrics has made them look puffy. Believe me, they are flat. I can hardly wait to see what the other girls in this swap do to my block. I'm hoping for all the glitter and magic of fairies, goblins, beautiful dreams and the mysteries of Hallowe'en.
Certainly a different take on the black and orange associated with Halloween over here. Lovely block.
