I had bought two Moda Chic or Treat layer cakes last year. (Not sure what I was thinking with two but they were a good deal.)
When I saw
this quilt from Camille of Thimble Blossoms, I knew I wanted to make a Halloween version. I actually want to make it over and over since it is so simple and cute and I love the ric rac. I skipped the applique circles and will either applique spiders or skip it all together. The colors on this quilt are so loud that I don't think it needs the detail and I'm in a "get it done" mood.

I had some indecision on which way to go with the ric rac color (green or black) and which fabric to use for the top and bottom border (orange dots or purple multi dots). I've decided on the black ric rac and orange dots. It helped to photograph it to confirm what I was leaning towards anyway.

| the contrast is all wrong with this combo |

| cute, but the black ric rac just has more pop |

| this top border fabric just is too busy and overwhelms the rest |

Love it! Halloween is probably my favorite time of year and I've been wanting to make a Halloween quilt for a few years. Perhaps you will inspire me to get moving on this project!
