Ghost, Pumpkin, Spider Halloween Quilt!

 A few years back I saw a cute Halloween quilt that I wanted to recreate for my own home.  This is my version of that quilt.  I would love to give credit to the original designer, but I honestly can’t remember where I saw this quilt.  So, if anyone knows leave me a message and I’ll provide a link to the original design.  This Halloween quilt was fun and really easy to make.  Simply decide how big you want your quilt and then use squares and half triangle squares to make the ghost and pumpkin. *Make sure your squares and half square triangles are the same size. 

Row 1:   Is all blue squares the same size

Row 2:  have one blue square then two blue and white half square triangles to make the top of the ghost head

Row 3:  Is one blue square, and three white squares

 Row 4:  Is one blue and white half square triangle, one white and orange half square triangle, one orange triangle, one orange and white half square triangle

Row 5:  Is one blue and white half square triangle, one white and orange half square triangle.  One orange triangle and one orange and white half square triangle

I bordered the quilt with green fabric.

For the face on the ghost and the pumpkin I traced the design on the back of the black fabric and cut out two pieces.  I sewed them together with right sides facing, then flipped and ironed the pieces.  I hand sewed the pieces closed.  I stitched them to the quilt using the stitch in a ditch method.  Next, using  black DMC floss I stitched a spider web in the upper corner and a spider in coming from the ghost. 

Have fun with your quilt and add any embellishments you want!

This quilt is also a part of the quilt fall festival:
