QuiltInk Challenge Oct25

Do you feel the thrill of quilting with a spooky twist? October is here, and that means it’s time for pumpkins, shadows, and Halloween-inspired stitches. There’s nothing more fun than playing with eerie palettes that bring out the magic of this season in your quilt designs. 🎃🕸️

For this month’s QuiltInk Challenge, we’re diving into Phantasm, the brand-new fabric collection by Libs Elliott for Andover Fabrics. With its bold colors and playful prints, this collection is perfect for creating quilts that are hauntingly beautiful, mysterious, and full of personality.

Before we get started, let’s take a moment to celebrate our September winner — congratulations to @XXXXX, who will be receiving a gorgeous Fat Quarter bundle from Alexandra Bordallo’s Flourish collection! 🌸✨

Now, are you ready to conjure up some Halloween magic on the QuiltInk Wall?

MEET PHANTASM
The Phantasm collection by Libs Elliott for Andover Fabrics is a bold, Halloween-inspired line that blends gothic flair with artistic drama. Phantasm carries a striking palette of purples, blacks, neon greens, and hot pinks, weaving together motifs like moths, spiderweb hearts, skulls, abstract florals, and edgy geometrics.
 
While its Halloween roots are clear, the line also includes supporting prints that transition beautifully into other seasons. Whether used in dramatic quilts, costume pieces, or statement accessories, Phantasm offers a balance of mystery and elegance, with enough versatility to let your creativity roam between spooky and stylish.
