I came up with this Halloween quilt pattern about a year ago, and it is one of the reasons I decided to start designing quilts. I couldn’t get the idea out of my head! I didn’t think I’d have time to get it done this year, but decided to jump in anyway. I’m so glad because it was such a fun quilt to make! It’s titled “Haunted” which suits it perfectly.

The best part is all of the little fussy cut fabrics in the windows. I searched all over the internet (mostly Etsy) for these low volume Halloween fabrics, and it definitely paid off. Just look at all of the Halloween cuteness!
I pulled from a few different fabric collections for the house. Beggar’s Night from Riley Blake, Eerie from Art Gallery, and Good Spirits from Ruby Star to name a few.
The little ghost has a very subtle white on white pattern, and so does the cloud. I used Ghost White Daisies from Moda for the ghost and Hey Boo from Moda for the cloud.
The bats have a subtle night sky pattern with “In the Dark” from the Eerie collection from Art Gallery.
Each star is a different pattern. I used 3 dark orange fabrics, 3 medium orange fabrics, and 3 yellow/cream fabrics. You could easily pull from your fabric stash to make these really scrappy.
And here’s a closeup of the binding and backing. I love both of these fabrics from the Eerie collection from Art Gallery. The binding is “Spooky Trails” and the backing is “Boneyard Nocturnal”.
I had it quilted by a local lady, Quilted by Tonja. I pulled the quilt top out in her studio, and we both had the same thought… it needed spider webs. It turned out perfectly!
As you can imagine, this Halloween quilt pattern is a big one. I think it ended up being like 26 pages since every block is different. It looks intense, but it’s actually a pretty easy quilt to make. I did a good job spelling everything out, and I even included labels for all of the different background pieces. Head over to my shop to get it here.
