I've been seeing some quilts made with what I call stripey squares. I already made a quilt like that a few years ago, but I was inspired to make some more stripey square blocks. I decided to go small for a pillow cover. And to use my Halloween stripes.
I even put on my modern brave girl panties and mixed some stripes within a few of the blocks. I sit on the fence about that design idea. Sometimes I like it, if the block, as a whole, blends pretty well. Otherwise, it's not a favorite for me.
Finally my Halloween quilt has a Halloween pillow to go with.
Halloween fabrics are the MOST FUN to play with for me.
Happy Fall

This is beyond fabulous, what a marvellous combination of squares. Now I suppose that the squares are made of striped fabrics to start with (otherwise the stripes would be miniscule)? What a great effect. I like your mixed stripes on a few blocks, it gives an extra punch, but I can see that it could be good either way.
Ooohhhh Annie,you have rocked the Halloween theme!! Love it all,the colours pop right out at you and slap you wide awake :) wonderful sewing yet again....keep those brave girl panties on if you keep creating magical stuff like this!

Love the pillow and you sewing is exquisite....yes I did check out how beautifully all your stripes matched up. And I like the mixed stripe blocks, too. This says "happy" to me.
Love, love, love your pillow! So bright and happy for the holiday. You are too clever!
I think this pillow is gorgeous! blessings, marlene
Fabulous pillow! So graphic and it has a lot of movement because of the random squares with mixed strips. You'll enjoy this for many years.
Now that is fun!!
How fun! I think you did just the right amount of mixing, Annie. It makes for such a fun, almost optical illusion design. Fabulous finish!
This is a magical stripey pillow to accompany your Halloween Divine Quilt. Personally I do like your stripey stripe squares. Creative Halloween Fabric Bliss Dear...
Oh Annie, I really, really like it! No love it! I like the use of strips makes things pop. I also like the binding you used. Cute quilt too. I agree Halloween fabrics are such fun to work with. Great job!
Love it!
I for one love it when you wear your big girl pants! Halloween gives us a chance to let our hair down and just have fun. I do adore all your quilted makes but I miss your calendar pages!
