If I could have crammed more Halloween into this quilt, I would have. This is all the Halloween that fits.

I was terribly slow with posting these photos of this massive color explosion of a quilt, but I was not that slow in completing it. This was completed in June for a custom order, and photographed at Esalen, in Big Sur, CA, while I was attending the annual Writers’ Camp retreat there (which was a productive and toast-filled experience which I hope to repeat). ​

While working on the monochromatic minimalist quilt, I must have been subconsciously sending a message into the universe to send me the exact opposite of that palette to me somehow. And it worked. And now the very next piece I’m tasked with creating contains no part of the grayscale. I have put away my black, pewter, and charcoal solids and am now completely buried in saturated color prints in 24 hues and a large number of yellow stars.
