Here are my April blocks for Audrie for Bee Beautiful. I had fun making them. I just wish they had turned out a little better. It was the first time I had ever used a template. I still have yet to decide what I am going to do for my month. Every week I change my mind to something different.
I need some help with my Halloween quilt. I want to do a completely scrappy backing. I have a lot of Halloween fabric left over and I would love to use it up. Some are scraps, and I have a few fat quarters, and I think a bit of yardage. If anyone has done this before, knows of any tutorials, or knows of pictures I could look at it would really be appreciated.

those blocks are beautiful. I don't think there is any rules to a scrappy back. Just put fabrics together to fill the back area. Since you can never have the quilting in certain areas on a back, bigger pieces would probably be best. just my thoughts
Great blocks - they look so pretty! As for piecing a back, I just kind of wing it. I pull out all the fabrics that I have/want to use and then create a geometric design with it. You can go really complex, or simple. Think of it as one gigantic block. Try going to flickr.com and doing a search on 'pieced backing quilt' and there are a ton of photos to give you ideas!
It's all an experiment - enjoy the process!
Love the quilt blocks You can't beat a scrappy quilt. Have a great day!
Pretty blocks, I agree with the others, there are no rules to a back. You know I love your spider web blocks, you could make those and your quilt would be reversible!!
Oh my goodness, check out todays post from this new blog!!

Now that's an interesting way to run the strings - I like it. I plan on making a string spiderweb quilt one of these days but will run my strips horizontally.
This is so cute! Thank you for sharing your wonderful blog; keep up the great work!
