Howdy ya’ll, it’s Jamie Mueller of Sunflower Quilts back with another fun project. I made this cute Halloween Quilt just in time to decorate for Fall but this technique can be used for any design or holiday. If you have a fabric you love with a large motif, take this technique a make a different quilt. The possibilities are endless and remember, let the FABRIC do the WORK!

Spooktacular HeatNBond Quilt
Finished size: 66 ½” X 66 ½”

Supplies:
*Fabric used: Spooktacular by Blend Fabrics
49-10” squares (24- FQ OR 12-1/3 yard cuts)
1 yard Jack-o-lantern fabric (enough to cut out 24-full Jack-o-lanterns)
1 yard Heat N Bond® Ultrahold
4 yards backing fabric
½ yard binding fabric

Directions:
1. If you’re not using precut 10” squares, cut 49-10” squares.
2. Fuse Heat N Bond® Ultra on the WRONG side of Jack-o-lantern fabric.

*TIP: Let the fabric do the work! I was going to draw my own jack-o-lantern patterns until I saw how CUTE the Blend Fabrics jack-o-lanterns were. It saved so much time just fusing Heat N Bond onto the actual fabric. Say it with me, “Let the fabric do the work!”.TooltipText

*Please excuse how dirty my Oliso Pro Iron is; I use it everyday and HIGHLY recommend it!

4. Following package instructions, fuse jack-o-lanterns onto 24-10” squares.

5. Using a small zig-zag stitch and matching thread to jack-o-lanterns, stitch around entire jack-o-lanterns for all 24 blocks.

*TIP: use a monofilament thread (clear) like I did if you do not want to see your appliqué stitches.TooltipText
