I love Halloween Fabric

But this, in my mind at least, isn't seasonal Halloween fabric. It's the absolute perfect stuff to use for making the boys some sturdy book bags for hauling treasures home from the library. I'm wanting to do something like the bag I made for the Nancy Drew blog hop earlier this year.

I didn't realize until I took the picture how huge the pattern repeat on this fabric is. There are so many great movie posters here I'm going to have a hard time fussy cutting to make the bags. What can I leave out?  (On the bright side, I've got three bags to make and that center panel won't take much fabric. I've have a lot left over to play with!)

I did order four yards of fabric this week. Have you seen Rest in Pieces, the new Halloween line from Connecting Threads?!  If there's a more perfect fabric to back Hocuspocusville with, I haven't seen it.
