Kachan's name is finished, now that I added spacers between the letters and trimmed to final size. These witches have not yet received their eyebrows and eyelashes, but I'll do their makeup before basting the quilt sandwich.
Jerryl is in a different font. I had fun changing up the style for each witch.
Going clockwise, Rafilda is next, and lastly, Pagel. The name Rafilda I first saw in Harry Potter, but Kachan, Jerryl and Pagel were real names from my transcription work. I made a list of unique names over the course of about a year. I don't have a lot of the Dimples fabric left so I need to be very conservative with my leftovers so I can fill out the borders. It has been fun to play with these letters. Method is from Tonya Riccuci's Word Play Quilts book.

Love, love, love them!!!
Your comment about doing the witches' makeup made me smile. Just an odd visual image it created, I guess.
You are doing a beautiful job on the names! I will keep my fingers crossed (for a minute) that you don't run out of fabric!!
Annie, these are just darling! I love the way their hats are incorporated into the center block. And their hair! It's all just fun! Was this a kit? I can't wait to see it finished! :)
What a cool quilt! I love it! I can't wait til you fill their faces in.
Love your witches even w/o make-up! And the idea of adding the names: great fun!
The names are terrific for witches and your idea of making them the border is great! Can't wait to see it all completed!!
Love the unique names. This one is going to be a very colorful Halloween decoration.
What a fun quilt!
I have these witchy ladies on my to-do list, but anything I'd do would pale in comparison to your wonderful project. Every time you complete another step, you've added to its richness and uniqueness.
Such a fun project! Great name choices!
Wouldn't those patients be surprised to see their unique names on such an adorable quilt!
Cheers!
