Default Pony Club quilt with a twist

I have finished my FW Pony Club quilt top. I swore I would never do one, no, no, no, never. With gentle encouragement, QuiltE had me wavering. Then I realized some sage spider web batik fabric would make a versatile constant. Now the search was on for Halloween batiks and Never Say Nevermore was started. I even made 3 of my own batiks.

I found an Edgar Allan Poe cross stitch to use as my centre square. I have stitched it on a shimmering pale sage Aida.

There are a total of 35 squares, including the cross stitch centre. 34 use different Halloween batiks.

This gives you a better idea of how the blocks look. The orangey/yellowy/sagey raven on the top left of this last photo is a top candidate for my backing. After all, with a name like Never Say Nevermore, there had to be ravens, didn't there?
Thanks for looking.
