About the Patterns on the List
Personally, I love making Halloween quilts! They might be my favorite quilt to sew. On this list, you’ll find a combination of quilt patterns and free tutorials that I have written, along with a couple of patterns written by some of my favorite quilt pattern designers.
Easiest Halloween Quilts to Make
If you’re new to quilting and are looking for a FAST project, I recommend starting with a 10″ precut pack of your favorite Halloween fabric and making a simple patchwork quilt.
If you want to make something more detailed, our Gathered Quarters quilt pattern (shown here in summer fabrics, but it would work wonderfully with Halloween fabrics) utilizes Fat Quarters and incorporates a time-saving strip piecing technique. Best of all, the simple patchwork pattern is a great way to show off some of your favorite Halloween fabrics!
The Gathered Precuts Quilt is another simple-to-sew Halloween quilt. It features minimal cutting since it’s created using a 10″ precut stack of fabric.
Smaller Quilted Halloween Projects
If you don’t have time to make a whole Halloween quilt, why not make a table runner instead?
The Bitty Bats & Stars pattern includes instructions for making either a table runner or a full-size Halloween quilt. Grab one of the kits in our shop, which includes everything you need to make the runner (including the backing fabric).
We have instructions on our site to make a table runner version of our Spooky Shelife quilt. This project is Fat Quarter-friendly and makes a fun addition to your Halloween table.
13+ Halloween Quilt Patterns
1. Halloween Haberdashery Quilt Pattern
The Halloween Haberdashery quilt pattern consists of a series of Witch Hat Quilt blocks. The blocks are very simple to piece and can be pieced traditionally or using Foundation Paper Piecing (with a separately purchased pattern). The pattern also has directions for creating cute pumpkin blocks to complement the quilt.
2. Tic Tac Cat Quilt Pattern
The Tic Tac Cat quilt is a mix-and-match quilt pattern. The blocks in the center are swappable, and one version is perfect for Halloween!
3. Hexagon Halloween Quilt
Quilts for Halloween don’t always have to be made from Halloween patterns. Sometimes, all you really need to do is swap out the fabrics. This hexagon quilt is pieced so that there are no Y seams. I created this quilt from some of my favorite Halloween fabrics in my stash a few years ago. This is a free quilt pattern that you can find on my site.
4. Spooky Sampler Quilt
The Spooky Sampler quilt is made from various adorable Halloween Quilt blocks! It features raw edge applique and traditional quilt piecing.
5. Bats Quilt Pattern
Allison from Cluck Cluck Sew has designed the cutest pattern featuring a collection of bats!
5. Spooky Shelfie Quilt
The Spooky Shelfie Quilt pattern is a bookcase-inspired quilt pattern! I designed it by trying to dream up everything that would be on a bookshelf in a witch’s house! There is even a series of YouTube videos walking you through the construction steps.
6. Breezy Bunting Halloween
The Breezy Bunting Quilt Pattern uses a 2 1/2″ roll of precut fabric, sometimes called a Rolie Polie or a Jelly Roll, and a little bit of yardage for the background. It allows you to create a quilt in your favorite Halloween fabrics easily!
7. Halloween Quilt Block Series
Nadra Ridgeway of Ellis and Higgs has designed several quilt blocks with a Halloween theme that can be mixed and matched to create something that is totally unique. You can grab the patterns in her Etsy shop, Ellis & Higgs.
8. Pumpkins & Cats
Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl has created a fun take on a pumpkin quilt with her I Love Cats Pattern! Grab it in her shop, Jedi Craft Girl, via Etsy.
9. Letter Board Quilt Pattern
My Letter Board Quilt pattern can be customized for any holiday! I don’t “need” another Halloween quilt, but I’m sorely tempted to stitch up a Halloween version of this quilt. It would be fun to use up some of your favorite quilting fabric. When you buy the pattern, it comes with applique patterns for the entire alphabet!
10. Halloween Bunting Pattern
This bunting quilt by Diary of a Quilter is a great example of how Halloween fabrics can transform a simple pattern into an adorable Halloween Quilt!
11. Great Granny Square Quilt
Turn some of your collection of Halloween fabrics into a cozy Halloween quilt! The Great Granny Square quilt pattern is perfect for colorful Halloween fabrics. Create this ghoulishly delightful quilt and add a touch of warmth and festive spirit to your Halloween décor.

The Pumpkin Patch Ghosts quilt is a special edition quilt pattern that I designed. The best part is that it’s Fat Quarter Friendly!
It also looks great stitched with a brighter background, don’t you love it in pink?
13. Scrappy Triangles Quilt Tutorial
Create a snuggly lap quilt out of 3 yards of fabric and a Jelly Roll of fabric with our free Scrappy Triangles Quilt Pattern!
