The bat block is the first step. I used a black fabric with cat faces, so I call this a "cat bat"!
Click here for the link to the bat block.
Although a fabric bat is very cute, a real bat is not! We had a bat in the house last summer and it was scary. Here is a blurry photo of it hanging on the dining room curtain rod. Yikes!
I much prefer fabric bats!
And here are my 4 bats... hanging upside down of course!
Are you joining in with this mystery?

I had no intention of doing the Bats and Boo hop...I do not do hops well
And then I saw your bats!
May still not do the "quilt" but those bats are happening today!
Years ago we lived in a very old house and had to "evict" some bats, humanely - just ugh! Lol. Your quilty version is cute though;).
32 years ago, when we got married, we had to do a bat patrol before the wedding and remove at least two dead bats from the pews before the guests arrived. The bats flew around at night and would get killed by the ceiling fans . You bat blocks are cute. Way better than dead bats in the church!

I printed out the pattern but have not got around to making it yet. Your bats turned out great.
Adorable blocks. I definitely need to go check out their QAL.
Your fabric bats are so cute!
They are very cute bats. Fabric ones are better.
Oh my goodness, those bat blocks are so cute, I'm almost tempted to join in! That real bat, though, looks too big! We had a bat in our house years ago, too, and it's a pretty funny story (sort of). The bat survived, of course!
So what's the rest of the story? How did you remove the bat? We've had a bird in the house and one in the cellar, as well as a neighbor's cat who wondered into the cellar, but never a bat, thank goodness. Of course, we hear chipmunks and squirrels running around in the walls on occasion and that is frustrating because we can't figure out where they are entering to close the entry point off.

I’ve seen this QAL on Instagram and love the blocks. Your scrappy bats are cute! Hmm, may have to make some too! We had bats in our attic a year or two ago, and last month when I was going to open the patio table’s umbrella, there was a good sized bat clinging in the fold. Yikes.
I have had bats in the house a half dozen times over the 35 years we've owned this house. There is a large colony of "little brown bats" that roosts under the interstate about three blocks away, so they are all around our neighborhood. But if you open the doors, they generally find their own way out.
One did set off the motion detector when I was on a business trip, my son met the cops at my house and let them in. As he described it: "two cops plus one Marine vs bat. Bat was routed and retreated from the field of battle uninjured. Opposing forces needed a beer."
