Halloween is Purple!

I'll bet you thought of Halloween as orange and black.... and it is.... but it is also purple and lime green.


The ghoulies are lime green. LOL  i had this piece of Halloween fabric with ghoulies on it and it just begged to go with the purple selvages. this turned out 66" square. purple masterpiece thread on top and grey so fine on the bottom. quiltazoid pattern.


This little guy is cooking up something lime green. i'll bet it's a skin conditioner....LOL


Who knows what the fate is of this little guy in the jar.



Here are the spell books. there's a 'good' spell book and a 'bad' spell book. i'll bet the good spell book has a love potion or something in it. the bad spell book probably puts warts on your nose. hope the chubby mouse in the cage gets a good spell. check out the eyeballs in the jar....and the little spiders.



The wizard is checking out a book while the little mouse is munching on cheese. for his sake, i hope it's a good spell. have you noticed the little spiders in all the blocks. i think they are so cute.




I ran out of selvages as i was putting together the first border....so part of it is plain purple.



The sashing selvages are sewn onto foundations first. i used some old red fabric i wanted to get rid of. i sewed them on a piece 4"x9" and then trimmed them down to 3.5" x 8.5" .  some selvages are wider than others or crooked....doesn't matter to me. never met a selvage i didn't like.


Here is the back. it is a bluish-green stripe that came from  www.christianlanequilters.com    when they had their end of bolt sale.

That was the end of the purple selvages. now i have to decide what color to do next. i have white, black, brown, red, blue, green and pink. which color should i do next?   you decide and i'll do it.  majority rules.

Do you save selvages?  what do you do with them?
