Description
A cheerful witch takes center stage in this Halloween quilt, black pointed hat tipped over orange hair, a pieced star on the bodice, and a wide skirt sewn from a scrappy patchwork of colorful squares. A black cat sits to one side and a pieced pumpkin rests nearby, with a broom along the bottom and a cream background filled with sawtooth and patchwork stars. It finishes at a generous 76.5" x 89.5", a bed-size quilt to bring out every Halloween.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.
The full-color 62-page booklet covers the witch, cat, pumpkin, and broom along with the surrounding star blocks, with the design divided into block sections.
What You'll Need
The patchwork skirt and star blocks call for a wide scrappy range of prints, so a fat-quarter bundle or a deep scrap stash both work well. Beyond those, plan for the large background and backing.
- Background and borders: about 6 yards
- Blocks: a scrappy mix of fat quarters and smaller cuts (10-inch squares, ⅓, ½, and ⅝ yard prints)
- Binding: about ⅞ yard
- Backing: about 2½ yards of 108" wide fabric
Full cutting amounts for every fabric are printed on the pattern. Lori also used one spool of trim on the pumpkin; it is an optional finishing touch.
Perfect For
- Quilters who want a playful Halloween showpiece rather than a spooky one
- Sewists with a fat-quarter bundle or a deep scrap stash to put to work
- Confident beginners ready for a pictorial quilt built from simple pieced shapes
- Anyone who likes a block-by-block pattern that suits a quilt-along or block-of-the-month
- A handmade Halloween quilt to bring out year after year
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The whole scene is patchwork, and the witch's wide skirt is the clearest example: a simple grid of scrappy squares, the most beginner-friendly piecing there is. The witch, the cat, the pumpkin, and the broom are all built from basic rotary-cut shapes too, with no appliqué and no paper piecing.
That scrappy skirt is a stash playground. Any leftover squares can go into it, and the more variety the better. The cream background and the ring of pieced stars keep the whole quilt cheerful rather than spooky, which is the point: Halloween without the fright.
The Confident Beginner rating fits: the shapes are familiar and the skirt is straightforward patchwork, and the 62-page booklet walks through each section in order.
