Halloween Corners (PIGS)

I decided to make a Halloween quilt. Halloween seems to be something people with October birthdays at the quilt guild “do”, so I decided to follow suit. This quilt will be donated to the guild for the Life Moves organization. I called it Halloween Corners because the  quilt has 320 flippy corners. I am not fond of making flippy corners so I was nearly insane by the time I finished all the corners.
