Fall is undeniably my favorite season, and it’s not just because of the crisp air and pumpkin spice everything.
It’s the perfect time to dive into cozy, creative projects that bring warmth and whimsy into our homes.
Over the years, I’ve crafted numerous fall-themed quilts, some of which I’ve shared with you earlier. Here, I’m going to share some of my favorite Halloween projects from my collection.
Patchwork Pumpkin Quilt Block
One of my most beloved and popular projects is the Patchwork Pumpkin quilt block. This super simple, scrappy block is a fantastic way to use up fabric scraps. The tutorial also includes a variation for creating a whole pumpkin-patch table runner, making it a versatile project for your fall decor.
Halloween Bunting Quilt
Transform your home with a Halloween Bunting quilt, made using my Summer Bunting quilt pattern. This quilt is perfect for showcasing big, fun Halloween prints. It’s a delightful way to add a festive touch to your space without overwhelming it.
Modern Halloween Quilt
A few years ago, I created a modern Halloween quilt that combined scraps and novelty prints I had collected over time. Inspired by Allison Harris, this quilt is a great option if you prefer a modern aesthetic but still want to embrace the Halloween spirit. It’s a fun project that allows for a lot of creativity with color and pattern.
