Thanks goes to Mdm Samm and Wendy
for hosting this wicked good party! They have done an awesome job of keeping
us all in line once again...When thinking of the theme for this hop, my mind went straight to Edgar Allan Poe with a little Vincent Price thrown in for good measure...
I found this video I had to share...
And this is the 10.5 inch block that The Raven inspired...
And then, rather than say Nevermore...I made lots more birds
(13 !!) and ended up with this spooky quilt...

Now I remember - it was The Pit and The Pendulum.
