Description:
Hats Off to Halloween is an unusual four-way geometric design.  The four witch hats and the corner pumpkins are set up with a precise back-stitched outline that ensures that each shape is identical.  The striking seasonal composite border has six steps and the simple oblique couched rows in the background area echo the slant of the witch hats.  The corner pumpkins are shaded in Wildflowers.
