Ghost Duck

After a long summer of slow stitching, I decided I needed to end the summer with a finished quilt. When I saw the new set of animal ghost patterns from Quiet Play, I knew I had found my project. And here he is, my newest mini quilt, Ghost Duck!

We have many small duck toys in our home, so the duck was the logical choice for my little ghost. I pieced the entire top from scraps during a Zoom quilt guild meeting and then finished it up over the next few days. The quilting is done with white lines that blend in on the ghost and show up a little bit on the background, and the eyes are unquilted to give them more punch.

The binding matches the background fabric. I could have faced the project, but decided that this worked well enough. The backing is what is left from the binding on my other duck quilt, which is a nice bit of full-circle fabric usage.

And that's it! A sweet, fast finish to end my summer, and a new decoration for Halloween two months early. I hope your summer was full of sweet stitches too!
