Spooky Season Sampler

I joined this quilt along, it was a lot of fun! It ran from October 1-10. Every morning, the first thing I would do, was look at my email to see what the new block looked like. On the tenth day, there was the finishing instructions.  This is the second year that Fran at Cotton and Joy has done it.  Each year, she gets nine different designers to design 9 spooky blocks. This year, I was able to get each block done on the day, but some days I had to stay up late!

Here are all the blocks, I think you can still sign up to get the free block patterns.  Cotton and Joy is on Instagram.

One of my grand daughters said that this is her dream Halloween quilt!

How cute is that! 

It was fun to fussy cut the skulls on this one :)

I turned my Frankie into a lumberjack, lol!

A spooky tombstone!

I loved choosing the fabric for this block. Notice that the owl has owls on his body!

Here's the link to my quilt from last year.

Thanks for following and I'll see you again next week :)

Spooky Season Sampler finish!

 I finished my quilt, yay!  I was able to machine quilt it myself with a crosshatch design in pink thread. It's the cutest quilt and I'm so happy that I was able to keep up with the sew along!

This haunted house really stretched my paper piecing skills....but paper piecing is like making a puzzle, so it all came together.  I love my little fussy cut windows :)

This is a really cute Dracula ❤️

The ghost looking out the window is a favorite too!

I had some really fun fabric for the back too, which I thought was perfect!

Hope you have a great week and don't get spooked, because it's that season!

Spooky Season Sampler

This is a great sew along and it's free!!! Search cottonandjoy on Instagram and click on her profile.  Click on the link and then click join the Spooky Season Sampler.  It runs from October 1-10.  You will receive the FREE patterns in your email.

This first block is called the Skull Quilt.  I had so much fun choosing the fabric, one of my favorite parts!

Another thing I really love about this quilt along is that each block uses a different method.  They aren't necessarily difficult, but you have to read carefully.  I'm going to say it's not for beginners. I've used my seam ripper quite a bit.  Something that's really hard for me is that I don't have a color printer and the patterns are more difficult to figure out in black and white.  Just saying....

Block 2 is the Hallowpop block.  What a cute name!  I changed mine from four colors to two.  I really love pink and strawberry flavors. This was created with foundation paper piecing.

Block 3 is Spooky Dracula.  Again, so much fun to choose the fabric.

Block 4 is Candy Corn which I love.  This block used a couple of templates which are included in the pattern.

Block 5 is The Haunted Window.  This block was super fun to make, there were so many possibilities for the fabric choices.  My ghost is covered in spiders which makes me a little itchy!  This block had some curved piecing and then some templates.

I assume there will be 9 blocks and the 10th day will be the finishing instructions. Follow me on Instagram for current postings.  Thanks so much for following me ❤️
