How about a big grey spider web that covers the whole quilt, with a spider either appliqued on or quilted into it?

How about green on the front and orange on the back?

When I do Halloween fabrics I usually do orange on the front with black on the back. But you can do anything. I do remember one quilt had so much purple in it that I quilted it with purple thread. You can even switch off.

It looks wonderful. Please post again when you have it quilted.

Mind you, the quilt is not even made yet. But I have the thread. :roll:

There are a ton of variegated orange only threads as well.
(It's a wonky website.)


Your quilt is great! Perfect for the season.

I would probably choose this also.

Cute quilt. I use a nuteral color on everything.

Do they make glow in the dark thread? If not black would be my choice.

OOOO, I like this! Maybe in a black to show up well! Or in the glow-in-the-dark thread someone else mentioned.
