Ghastlie Queen of Spades

I finally finished my entry for the Play - A Miniquilt Competition hosted by sewhappygeek.  For this competition, you select a playing card and interpret it in a miniquilt.  My entry is:


Close up of the spider web quilting:


The Ghastlie Queen of Spades, Mathilda Ghastlie, is attended by her niece, Cordelia.  I wonder why Cordelia needs a hammer?  Must be to knock the competition out of the way. ;)


The miniquilt was inspired by this version of the Ace of Spades image that I found on Google.  Is there anything you can't find on Google?


This card design was perfect to showcase the Ghastlie fabrics that I love.  In fact, I've been playing with the idea of hosting a Ghastlie art quilt swap with other Ghastlie aficionados.  Wouldn't that be ghastlie fun?  (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
