Maximum Halloween

As soon as this client was able to articulate “the vibe” of this Halloween jack-o-lantern custom quilt, I got started on turning the vibe into a snuggly quilt. The aforementioned vibe is best described as “100% Ultra Maximum Halloween Supreme”.

“My husband is obsessed with Halloween,” she said. She meant the movie and the holiday and all the accoutrements. So I made a jack-o-lantern out of Jack-o-lantern print fabrics, I stitched the iconic face of the jack-o-lantern from the opening sequence of the movie Halloween, I framed the many pumpkins in giant candy corns, and then I quilted the whole thing with a silvery gray thread in spiderwebs. A fabric version of the recipient’s ghost tattoo was stitched onto the autumn houndstooth flannel on the back. If I could have crammed more Halloween into this quilt, I would have. This is all the Halloween that fits.

I insisted on the constellation background to look like a spooky Halloween night, and it’s so silky and dark.
