Ghastlies Scrappy Improv Pillow

I pulled out my container of Ghastlies scraps to make a pillow cover for what I'm now calling my 'seasonal pillow'. I realized this specific pillow should have one cover for ever seasonal change, so as not to have to store so much fluff with the changing of every season.

I started out with deciding which image I wanted for my 'center' and than just used scraps randomly. I'll be honest, I did get lost for a bit in the mist of doing this, even though improv is fun it makes you think a whole lot more.

I love the selvedge edge and also the witches in the top right corner. I stitched-in-the-ditch along every seam for the pillow top and the back is one piece of the cat print on white with random black lines quilted across it.

I might be overdoing the whole using up my scraps thing, but I really wanted a house image in the pillow and used 3 different cuts sewn together to make that one house, can you see them? The one on the right is more obvious, the other is towards the bottom left, across the front porch awning.

I had full intentions of quilting the Ghastlies quilt this weekend, just needed to get the batting...however we're waiting for the arrival of hurricane Irene so driving 30 minutes for something that wasn't a survival necessity was out of the question. Just wanted to get this posted before we loose power =)
