I am so happy to have finished my Bats and Boos mystery quilt! This is a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop and is the perfect table topper for Halloween! I didn't add the outside border as it was already large enough for my table.
I posted about quilting the centre block here.
In the pumpkins I quilted curvy lines, and then made wavy lines around them, which look a bit like tendrils in the pumpkin patch.I quilted curvy lines inside the bat, but because it's black thread on black fabric, you can't really see that quilting.
This is my favourite block - the cat bat! The wavy lines around the bats look like they are in flight and pushing the air forward around them.
The binding is made from 4 leftover strips of black fabric that were used in making the quilt.
Finished size: 32.5" x 32.5"
I'm so happy with this quilt and offer my thanks to the Fat Quarter Shop for this fun mystery adventure!
