HALLOWEEN DOORS

Every year back in the good old days, we'd hold a door decorating contest. There were prizes, but the most fun was actually doing the decorating. The recipient of this quilt organized the decorating in her area for many years. When she retired, this was the only concept I would consider. I made fifteen blocks and gave them to her friends. They each created their own door. The last door at the bottom right opened up with a message for her. This was the quilt that taught me a valuable lesson - when others do the work for you, your job is easier. Her dearest friend actually hooked up a small battery pack so her door lit up! This was one of my favorites ever, even though it was horrific sewing the vinyl windows. A lot of angry words were hollered at the sewing machine when this one was constructed.
