Colors

1. A Novelty print with anything that reminds you of Halloween.  Black cats, pumpkins, witches, dead trees, haunted houses, spider webs,  spiders, etc.
2. It’s time to dig into those scraps again.  You need a selection of very dark fabrics. Think dark and foreboding for these dark fabrics.  Black, dark gray, or dark green will work.
3. A selection of very bright orange fabrics.   Did out those gay fluorescents and hot oranges.

Note - Uses a selection of different colors in each block.  For example don’t use various fabrics that are the same colors like all blues or all greens.

3 - 2 inch strips from three different very bright orange fabrics. 

1 – 2 inch strip from the very dark fabric.
