Vintage Trick or Treat Quilt

So, while Marc is busy building my project table, I have started a new project myself.  I have wanted this quilt for quite a while now...like a year!  Every time I went to the Craft Warehouse I went to look at this pattern but didn't buy it.  Well.... I bought it!  Maybe just for the black dingle balls and rick rack, I'm not sure!?!

So far, I have cut the panels and traced the embroidery patterns.  Here are a couple...

I brushed up on my embroidery stitch skills, since I found that the pattern called for a little more than the basic back stitch.  I'll start the embroidery process tomorrow, I might be done sometime next year.  The rest of the project is quilting, something I've never done before. YIKES! But I heard from nice lady at JoAnns Fabric that you can hire this done, that spare change bucket may come in handy about then... :)
