Beginning Bright Side

Cutting into the fabric for my #spookyseptembersewalong2025 project meant I'd be in the thick of three quilt projects (and another sardine!) at one time, oops! I was hoping to have all of these done by the end of the month, but I'm already doubting that can happen.

I already shared a photo of my fabric pull, but I wanted - for the record - to identify all the fabrics I'm using in my Bright Side quilt. As for the Boo-tiful Mischief Bundle itself, it consisted of these fabrics:

1. Ruby Star Society Sarah Watts Glow Garden Tangled Web Black

2. Ruby Star Society Alexia Marcelle Abegg Warp & Weft Hue Crossweaves Vibrant Pink

3. Stacy Iest Hsu Home Sweet Haunt Little Black Cat Bone from Moda Fabrics

4. Ruby Star Rising Basic Rashida Coleman-Hale Speckled Metallic Witchy

5. Ruby Star Rising Basic Alexia Marcelle Abegg Starry 2023 Sunshine

6. Moda Fabrics Warp and Weft Ooh Lucky Lucky Star in Soft Black

7. Ruby Star Society Rashida Coleman-Hale Speckled 2021 Sorbet

8. Ruby Star Society Alexia Marcelle Abegg Warp & Weft Ooh Lucky Lucky Flicker Natural and Black

9. Ruby Star Rising Basic Alexia Marcelle Abegg Starry 2025 Witchy

10. Anna Maria Textiles Garden Variety Seeds Zinnia

11. Ruby Star Society Rashida Coleman-Hale Speckled 2021 Burnt Orange

12. Ruby Star Society Sarah Watts Glow Garden Tangled Web Natural

13. Diamond Textiles Manchester Pluses Black Orange




And then I selected a few more fabrics, a couple of which were from my stash:

14. Ruby Star Rising Basic Alexia Marcelle Abegg Starry 2023 Nutmeg

15. Kona Carrot

16. Robert Kaufman Fabrics Carolina Gingham 1/8 Inch in Black

17. Katarina Rocella’s Grid in Negative for Art Gallery Fabrics

18. Lori Holt’s Cross Stitch in Autumn for Riley Blake Designs

19. Kona White

And here's what they looked like just before I started cutting into them.

As mentioned earlier, I'm using the Bright Side pattern by Meghan of Then Came June @thencamejune. It mentions grouping fabrics by color family and considering value, but since I'm using a bundle to start, my colors will come off with less attention to value. I'm more focused on including my chosen colors and fun prints for this quilt, and though maybe not the original intent of the pattern, I think it'll be ok for this particular quilt.

So Friday night, I finished the quilt top, 60.5" x 72.5". Now I'm working on a back for it, using a cute Halloween print from stash, along with some of the leftover fabrics from the original pull. Hopefully I'll be basting the thing in a day or two.
