Beginner Friendly Halloween Quilt

I love how simple the blocks are to piece together as every is either rectangles or squares so this is a perfect beginner friendly quilting project to sew.

Fabrics

There are three sizes of pumpkin blocks, each made in three different colours.  I decided to make my version with the oh so Halloween inspiring ‘Black Cat Capers’ collection from Northcott Fabrics with a few basics thrown in (greys, white and a couple black prints).

Cut out your quilt top and piece the pumpkin quilt blocks

Quilting pumpkin-themed projects is a great way to get into the fall spirit! Cutting out your quilt top and piecing the pumpkin quilt blocks together can be both fun and rewarding. The pumpkin shape holds a certain charm, from its rounded edges to its vibrant colors. You can sew block after block of pumpkin charm, all with their own personality, until you have put together an autumn masterpiece you can be proud of. I was also really drawn to the sawtooth star blocks (one of my favourite blocks to add into a quilt) that go above the smallest pumpkin blocks.  This created a nice modern style quilt that I am very excited to use this Halloween.  Quilting pumpkin-themed pieces will have you saying ”Oh my gourd!”.

Sew your quilt top together, using a sewing machine or needle and thread

Quilting can be a ghoulishly satisfying endeavor, particularly when you’re piecing together a spooky Halloween quilt. The fabrics can really bring a smile to your face as you envision your work-of-art taking shape. To sew your quilt top together, fear not! Whether it’s the ghostly hum of a sewing machine or the guttural spells of hand stitching, it’s all enough to raise the dead! Don’t let goblins in your closet discourage you from completing the best Halloween quilt ever. You’ll terrorize your family with delight with your quilting handiwork once it’s completed.

Add batting and backing fabric to your quilt top, then quilt it all together

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of quilting up your quilt top in time for fall. Whether you choose to quilt by hand or with a machine, when you add warm batting and backing fabric – not to mention your special quilting touch – you’ll create a quilt that you and your loved ones will cuddle up with this autumn. Create something extraordinary this season with quilting for fall!

I really enjoy it on my bed to really take centre stage on the Halloween decor.  As this quilt is between a double and lap size quilt it is also perfect for the living room to curl up under on the couch as I sit and read some spooky(ish) book while I hand out candy to trick or treaters.  (Let’s be honest here, I don’t do scary but I love a good magical / fantasy book, which is perfect for the season).

I do have a “twin” for this quilt, made to the same dimensions of the quilt and same fabric, but with a different design coming and I am hoping to have that one completed before Halloween so I can share it all with you.

I still have a bit of Halloween prep and decorating to go before the big day, but isn’t decorating and sewing up the projects part of the fun, anyways?

For now, the quilt resides in my bedroom, as I begin adding more and more spooky elements around the house.
