Ghosts in the Garden

I like to start a quilt, riding high on an inspired wave of enthusiam, then get bored, put it away and come back a year or so later to finish the top.(I also like to wait another couple of years or decades until I get around to having the whole thing put together and quilted). That's what happened with this one. I learned to make the circles and had heaps of fun doing that, but then I almost decapitated my index finger with my rotary cutter, so that put an end to my pleasure with this quilt. In fact, it put me off quilting for awhile. It took 1/2 a year for my finger to heal and almost a year before I got feeling back into the part that was severed. So this quilt sat in a neat little stack in a basket until yesterday when I pulled it out and decided to finish the putting the top together. I then went into hyperfocus mode for about 4 hours--ignoring everyone and everything else. I did take a short break to root around in the basement for the Halloween decorations so the kids could put them up.
