Frightful Fun Quilt Finished

I have quite the history of signing up for sew-alongs and Block-of-the-Month (BOM) programs and either losing interest or wanting to spend my time on projects that are more joy-producing for me. But I never lost interest in the Halloween BOM designed by Sam Hunter, Leila Gardunia, and Kristy Lea. See the post announcing the BOM Here. The blocks were all well-designed using my favorite piecing method: Foundation Paper Piecing also known as FPP. I was able to personally drop the quilt top and backing off to Cara at Sew Colorado Quilting in Denver as I took a quick trip to Colorado with a friend in early September. It was so wonderful to finally meet Cara in person. Here is a photo she took of Frightful Fun after quilting but before she returned it to me for trimming and binding. The Haunted House was the final block of the BOM, and I had fun fussy cutting small Halloween images to fit in the windows.

The photo below shows the quilt top before I delivered it to Cara. I added two extra blocks not included in the BOM (to be made into pillows) and some Halloween fabric for a runner to also have quilted with the cobweb motif. I cut those extras off before binding it with a favorite Halloween print, Double, Double, Toil and Trouble, available at this Etsy shop.

The finished quilt is good size—68” x 79”. My bestie, Mary, is going to put it on her bed in early October. Below are a couple close-ups that show the cobweb quilting done with medium grey thread.

I will be linking up YvonneQuilting Jetgirl when she opens the linky party for Favorite Finish September 2025.

  2. Really cute finish! The colors are so vibrant and the design is adorable. Tell Mary she can go ahead and put it on her bed. We have several houses on our street fully decorated for Halloween since last week, and the stores have had decorations and candy since August!
