Hello my pretties and to all of you cat lovers, Halloween aficionados, scrappy quilt appreciators and Churn Dash quilt block admirers. Welcome to the GG&G Blog Hop (aka Gremlins, Goblins & Ghouls Oh My), hosted by Joan of Moosestash Quilting. Thanks for hosting Joan!
I didn't get too mysterious or creepy or spooky, but I did use a scaredy cat and Halloween colors.
I created this quilt using Crafter's Edge die cuts of squares, rectangles, and half square triangles. Then I added the appliqué black cat in the center of the large Churn Dash Block. I added a folded inner narrow border of green and then the outer border I created by sewing scrappy black pieces around a 1" green square until I got the size block I wanted for the border.
Here is my Scaredy Cat Churn Dash Quilt~

| Here is the quilted and finished quilt with black binding. This quilt measures 35 3/4" wide x 36" high. The Churn Dash blocks are 6" square, with the large Churn Dash measuring 12" square. The cat is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" at it's widest and tallest parts. |
I actually made this quilt last year and never posted about it, so this blog hop was the purrfect (I couldn't resist) time to get this quilt posted on the blog and participate in the hop too at the same time. I used Crafter's Edge 1/2 Square Triangle Die Cuts, Square Die Cuts and Rectangle Die Cuts to create this quilt.
