For a quilt guild challenge, we were to create a small quilt based on paint chips with color names starting the with same letters as our initials. My colors where Charcoal sketch (Black), Autumn sunset (orange) and Plum (purple).

A few years ago, I found drawing of a haunted house that’s been in my inspiration file.  I thought my colors would be fitting to turn it into a quilt. I traced the design on fusible webbing and ironed it to black fabric. I cut out the house and all the windows. Then cut pieces of orange and purple to fill the windows with light and curtains. I outlined stitched the house in black and then added some additional stitching in orange. I stitched words on the background and lines around the border.
