A Spooky, Sweet Adventure with the Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Quilt Along! 🎃🧵

I had so much fun joining the Fat Quarter Shop and their Spooky & Sweet Mystery Quilt Along! This was my first time diving into a mystery quilt project, and wow, what a treat! What’s better than a quilt that has a Witch and Dracula theme? Ghosts dressed up as a Witch and Dracula! Halloween quilting is always my go-to, so when this came along, I knew I was all in.

The Fat Quarter Shop quilt along offered two sizes—a Door Banner (17.5″ x 65.5″) and a Wallhanging (30.5″ x 34.5″)—both just perfect for Halloween vibes. Thank you to the Fat Quarter Shop for sprinkling in mystery, fun, and a dash of suspense to this holiday project!

I used Ruby Star Society’s Good Spirits fabric, my official spooky-season crush for 2025. The skulls and flower print stole my heart! I also love the lady monster mash! There are so many cute fabrics in this line!! It’s actually not the only time I sewed with these prints. I used them in my sugar skull block as well. Click here for that pattern.

Quilting Spider Webbs

For a little extra flair, I quilted my Door Banner with spider webs and added a couple of spiders hanging around. (I first tried webbs on my Gone Batty Quilt, and let’s just say I’m getting the hang of it!) You can catch how I did it in my latest YouTube video, where I break down how I quilted them.

Making Fussy Cut Binding

And, for the first time, I fussy cut the a print for the binding. I used my favorite fabric the skulls-and-flowers print. Love how it turned out, and I can’t wait to use this technique more.

Wishing you a fabulous Halloween full of quilts, treats, and maybe a few tricks!
Cheers and happy quilting!
