A Halloween quilt is a cozy way to celebrate spooky season!
And depending on your specific decorating vibe, you can use your Halloween quilt all year–I certainly do!
I usually only post free patterns and tutorials, but there are SO many beautiful Halloween quilt patterns available for just a few dollars that I couldn’t stand not to include them, too. Don’t worry, though–I’ve noted in each pattern’s title whether it’s a free or paid pattern, so you don’t have to worry about getting your heart set on something only to click through and discover that it costs money. I hate when that happens to me!
So whether you want to pay for a pattern or not, you’ll find your next favorite Halloween quilt below!
Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt (Free)
This super simple one-block quilt pairs perfectly with the children’s book, The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt. It’s a great way to introduce a young child to the beauty and magic of a handmade quilt.
Witch’s Web (Paid)
This quilt block is the perfect size for a pillow, and it just so happens that pillows are one of my favorite ways to decorate for a holiday! I love that this block isn’t too spooky, so it’s a very family-friendly decorating choice, as well.
Gone Batty (Free)
If you’re familiar with an Irish Chain quilt, then this Halloween quilt version should look very familiar to you! It’s subtle enough that if you were careful with color and pattern, a casual observer might not even notic that there are bats secretly flying around your quilt.
Bats (Paid)
Although the bats all look the same, their placement around this quilt makes the overall pattern truly special. It’s understated, and perfect for Halloween decorating with a limited color palette.
Cat o’ Lantern (Paid)
Even though this is very much a Halloween quilt, I love that the example quilt isn’t in stereotypical Halloween colors. That spiderweb looks like stained glass!
Coffin quilt block (Free)
If you don’t know how to foundation paper piece, this is your chance to learn! Incorporate this quilt block into a large quilt, or use it stand-alone to make Halloween mug rugs or hot pads or placemats.
Ghost Quilt (Paid)
My favorite thing about this paid quilt pattern is how versatile it is. Master the one ghost block, and you have endless possibilities to work with. I want to make a quilt with a black background and the ghosts in different shades of white, but I ALSO want to make one with the ghosts in rainbow colors. And matching pillows, too!
Pumpkins (Paid)
This quilt pattern calls for ten orange fat quarters, making sourcing the fabric super easy (and cost-efficient!). And because there’s nothing spooky about it, you can easily leave it out from September through Thanksgiving.
White Pumpkins (Free)
These pumpkin blocks sew up very quickly, making them a great choice for a casual autumn quilt. And if you wanted to applique spooky Jack o’ lantern faces onto them, you could!
Ghost Party (Paid)
I have seen so many beautiful iterations of the Ghost Party quilt this year! I love how each ghost is slightly different, and I love the background of fabrics in Halloween colors.
Candy quilt block (Paid)
This one quilt block pattern gives you a LOT of bang for your buck! Not only does it come in two sizes, but change out the candy colors to red and green, and you’ve got yourself a Christmas quilt block. Or how about red and white, or red and pink for Valentine’s Day?
Halloween Haberdashery (Paid)
I especially love one-block quilt patterns when there’s plenty of room to play with colors. Imagine all these witch hats in different colorways, with a couple of colorful pumpkins, to boot!
Hocus Pocus (Paid)
This is not a beginner’s quilt pattern, but if you love Hocus Pocus and you have at least intermediate quilting skills, this might be your next masterpiece!
Boo quilt block (Paid)
With a little finessing, you could incorporate this word bubble quilt block into another Halloween quilt pattern. How cute would it be to have a little ghost or spider saying, “Boo!”
Spiderweb (Paid)
This 12″x12″ quilt block is the perfect size for a wall hanging. For extra spooky fun, add applique spiders!
