After the Coven and Home Sweet Haunt guides, quilters asked what else lurks in Linda's Halloween aisle. Plenty. Here's the rest of the haunted neighborhood — four smaller collections from four different mills that happen to share one glow-in-the-moonlight palette of black, orange, purple and chartreuse.
Haunted House — the Glowing Trio Program

Wilmington Midnight Hauntings ($14.39/yd)
- Cream Bats and Pumpkins — the low-volume standout of the whole aisle

How I'd Mix Across Mills
Halloween is the easiest holiday to mix manufacturers because everyone dyes to the same moon-and-pumpkin palette. Use Ghastly Grunge and Black Diamonds as your darks, Cream Bats and Ghost Cream as low-volume lights, and let the pumpkins, cats and ghosts trade places in the blocks. A scrappy "one of everything" trick-or-treat quilt from this page will look more designed than most single-collection quilts — and these pieces slot straight into the Coven and Home Sweet Haunt palettes too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix Halloween fabrics from different manufacturers?
Yes — all quilting cottons here are the same weight, and Halloween palettes converge on black/orange/purple/green, so cross-mill mixing looks intentional.
Which of these work as backgrounds?
The low-volumes: Cream Bats and Pumpkins, Ghost Cream, Stars Cream and Phantom Fog. The Ghastly Grunge black is your go-to dark background.
What's a fast Halloween project from these fabrics?
A candy-corn-simple patchwork table runner: five fat quarters, one evening. Bind it in Black Diamonds and it comes out every October for a decade.
