Above it she wears a black bodice marked with a pink quilt-block star, long red-orange hair, and a tall polka-dot pointed hat. A plump orange pumpkin rests in her outstretched arms, a black cat with a curling tail sits at her left, and a broom and a wand lean nearby. Pieced quilt-block stars and flowers scatter across the warm taupe background in reds, pinks, greens, aquas, and purples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Pattern Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed paper pattern only.
