The inspiration for this one came from Pinterest and it really reminds me of a city block where you might go trick or treating.
The pattern is called Piccadilly from Doug Leko's book Tabletastic.I simplified things a bit, making the centre one 6" block rather than a four patch. And, despite my penchant for scrappy, I used the same cream print throughout, letting the blacks, oranges and greys do their thing.And, similar to the inspiration piece, I also opted to make the first border from the cream rather than a darker print, and I really like it - it lightens things up nicely.Despite not being a huge fan of Hallowe'en, I do find that I enjoy sewing with some of the themed prints, like these little pumpkin dots (I tend to avoid the gory side of the holiday).I debated using a dark grey and white for the outer border...but landed on the black and white, and I think it was a good move. It finishes off around 25" square, so it's a good size and will be nice on a table. Needless to say, I'll be asking Roberta to quilt it with the little pumpkin panto....M

Hi Marie, what a wonderful themed piece this is. I am most interested in the "houses"border. Really neat!
Very nice. I’m not into the scary side of Halloween either. Those little pumpkins are cute!
I really like your version of the pattern. Another winner.
