I normally don't make Halloween stuff either, but my friend, Julie, happened to give me a bag of some Halloween fabrics in all different prints and sizes and I had seen a pattern that I thought was so cool looking that I wanted to try making a quilt with that pattern. So I decided to use the Halloween fabrics that Julie gave me along with the lime green, black glittery fabric with eyes that I had already and I used orange fabric that I had for the binding too. I just love how cool and interesting this quilt turned out! I have ideas for making this quilt again with other fabrics. Thanks Julie for the Halloween fabrics!
The pattern is BQ3 from Maple Island Quilts, designed by Debbie Bowles. It has 2 sizes of blocks and I made the smaller block size as I wouldn't have enough of the Halloween fabric to go any larger. I got scrappy with this because of the Halloween prints that I had. Luckily I had enough of the lime green fabric and the black glittery fabric with the green eyes. This is one way to set the quilt. You can play around and set the quilt in other ways too.
There are other BQ patterns too from Maple Island Quilts as well and they are all such interesting looking quilts, but easy to do. Hint: You can also go to Sewing with Nancy on YouTube for the episode on how to make this very quilt. Debbie shows you how to make the larger blocks for this quilt.
which is perfect for this blog hop. 🐺🌕(But apparently you might not see the font if you are reading this on a phone or tablet, except in the photos only. The font shows up on my desktop computer, but not my tablet 🙄).
