mixing ghostly garden + color pop playground fabric
One of my favorite things about designing fabric collections is making sure the colors continue flowing from one line into the next.
I love the idea that you can pull fabrics from your stash, mix older collections with newer ones, and create something that still feels cohesive while also feeling fresh and new. Honestly, I think that’s one of the most fun parts of quilting and sewing with collections over time. It gives you so many more creative possibilities.
While I was sewing with my newest Halloween collection, Ghostly Garden, I started pulling fabrics from my first collection with Andover Fabrics, Patchwork & Petals, and realized just how well some of these prints play together 💛

Why I Love Mixing Fabric Collections
I never want my collections to feel isolated from one another.
As I design new lines, I intentionally carry certain tones and colors forward so fabrics from older collections can continue working alongside newer releases. Sometimes it’s a citron green, sometimes a pink, sometimes a particular aqua or teal that keeps showing up in different ways.
That continuity makes it easier to:
stretch your stash
mix collections naturally
create scrappier quilts
add more depth and variety to projects
make collections feel uniquely yours
And honestly… it’s just really fun 😂
My Favorite Color Pop Playgroung Prints to Pair with Ghostly Garden
These are the prints I keep reaching for when mixing the two collections together:
Shelved in Berry
This one adds such a rich berry tone that works beautifully with the pinks and deeper Halloween shades in Ghostly Garden.
Pixel Petal in Limeade & Pink
These both play so well with the brighter playful colors in Ghostly Garden and help add even more movement and texture to projects.
Parallel Play in White
I LOVE this one as a blender or background option. The lighter ground gives the eye a little place to rest while still adding interest.
X Marks the Stitch in Limeade
This print might honestly be one of my favorite crossover fabrics between the collections. The citron green feels so good with Ghostly Garden’s playful Halloween palette.
I even used X Marks the Stitch on the backing of the quilted pillow I made with my Sew Spooky print and absolutely loved how it turned out.
Starry Blooms in Limeade
The color in this print feels right at home with Ghostly Garden. It adds a bright, happy pop while still working beautifully with the slightly spooky vibe of the collection.
Mixing Collections Makes Quilts Feel More Personal
One of my favorite things about quilting is that no two projects ever end up exactly the same.
Mixing collections, pulling from your stash, and pairing unexpected fabrics together gives quilts so much personality and movement. I love seeing people take fabrics in directions I never would have thought of myself.
And honestly… seeing people mix my collections together is always incredibly exciting for me because it means the fabrics are becoming part of YOUR creative story too 💛
