Halloween Cape

My latest creation is a cape for my son for Halloween.  Easy? Sort of.  Want to do it again? Nope.  I bought a pattern for child capes and costumes.  The cape is little red riding hood-like, I made the hood, then cut the cape out of muslin.  Why?  Because I am going to piece it like a crazy quilt and topstich it, zigzag.  The thought behind the cape is that in Grimms Fairy Tales, the handsome prince is always under an enchantment where he has to wear  a cloak made from 'all the beasts in the forest'.  At the last garage sale I went to, I had bought (unknown to me) a box stuffed full of  animal print fabric.  It's really turning out to be something.
