Boos & Ghouls {a Halloween Quilt Block}

finished quilts· quilt along· quilt pattern

3 Oct

I love October! And Halloween is only part of the fun! Besides the treats and cooler weather, we get to sew Halloween quilt blocks! Yah!

A few years ago, I ran the delightfully spooky Boos and Ghouls quilt along. We had sooooo much fun with these little ghosts that I thought I would update the pattern for the blocks and offer it as a free PDF download to BHQ Subscribers. Woot Woot!

Just in time for Halloween, these spooky Boos and Ghouls pixelated quilt blocks are here! You can use the blocks to make mini quilts or turn them into treat bags.

As far as materials go you don’t need much! Just: 1/2 yard assorted black fabrics, 1/2 yard assorted white fabrics, and 1 Scrap orange fabric. This is a great time to use all those black and white neutrals some of us collect… ha!

Check out these Adorable, spooky makes:

Hands down I love how you guys customize your own Boos & Ghouls Halloween quilt blocks. Here’s a sampling, but you can also check out the #boosandghouls hashtag on Instagram.

@januaryt123 made a cozy pillow out of her little ghoul.

People had a lot of fun with the quilt along! Check out Julie’s (@julie_linford’s) finished Ghoul. Killer orange binding!

Or use these Halloween quilt blocks as a starting point and play dolly-dress-up to create a whole hoard of spooky Little Boos and Ghouls, each with their own personality. Kara (@houzofchaoz) went next level and created a whole slew of Boo Brothers.  Love it!

Bonus Alert!

I thought others might enjoy this Halloween quilt block, so I’ve added the pattern as a bonus resource to newsletter subscribers. You can find it in the “Free Pattern” section of the BHQ Resource Library. Or click here and I’ll send it right to your inbox

If you’re anything like me, you spend way more tim If you’re anything like me, you spend way more time than you’d like to admit scrolling Pinterest and Instagram, saving pretty quilts, and thinking, “I want to make something like that one day.” 😅

You tell yourself you’ll make one someday, when you have more time, when you feel more confident, when you finally know where to start.

But you don’t become a good quilter by collecting more inspiration. You don’t need any more inspiration. What you need is to just start sewing. 

All you have to do is choose your pattern, shop your stash, and pick your fabrics, sit down and start sewing! 

That’s exactly why I created the Make Modern Triangles Club.

Inside, you’ll get access to a growing library of Block of the Month programs that walk you through beautiful modern triangle quilts one manageable step at a time, plus bonus workshops and classes to help you learn new techniques and keep creating. ✨

It’s the perfect place if you want to actually make more pretty things, instead of scrolling and saving every pretty thing you see online.

It’s the most satisfying part of the process for m It’s the most satisfying part of the process for me... 😍

I seriously don’t think I will EVER get sick of it!!! 

If you haven’t experienced the magic of freezer paper piecing, you HAVE to try it for yourself. 

This technique literally saved me from almost giving up quilting altogether. 

I hated spending hours ripping paper out of seams, destroying every foundation, making huge messes, and having sore fingers. 

I was ready to give it all up until I discovered freezer paper piecing.

And now, I can make these beautiful triangle blocks with just as much accuracy and WAY less stress! ✨

All of my block of the month programs use this amazing technique. Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to try and take my free class! 💕

We’re finally getting to the good part. 😏 Just a We’re finally getting to the good part. 😏

Just a couple more batches of modern triangle blocks, and next thing you know, we will be assembling our quilt tops! 

Around this time in the block of the month programs is so exciting because you can really start to see things coming together. You have stacks of completed modern triangle blocks, and you’re getting so close to the big finish, you feel like you can really see it. ✨

You’ve spent months creating these beautiful little pieces, trusting the process, and before you know it, they stop feeling like individual blocks and start becoming a quilt.

That’s why I love the Block of the Month format so much.

Instead of trying to tackle one enormous project all at once, you keep showing up with just a few hours every single month, a few blocks at a time.

Then, one day you step back, look at everything together, and realize you’ve created something you never thought possible.

I can’t wait to see everyone’s Dutch Summer begin to come together over the next few months! Even though we’re nearing the end, you can still get access to the entire program and make this quilt yourself.

This is what makes my programs accessible for even This is what makes my programs accessible for even brand-new quilters: ⬇️

👉 They’re built with Modern Triangles.
Think of them like quilty puzzle pieces. One small shape at a time. Each month you make a set of triangles, and by the end of the year… you’ll suddenly have a quilt that feels like a masterpiece.

👉 You only ever need to focus on the next step.
Not the whole quilt, not the finishing, not how it will look months from now.
Just one block (or triangle!) at a time.

👉 YOU don’t have to do the hard thinking because I’ve already done that for you.
No math, no stress, no guesswork, just clear instructions, support when you need it, and joyful sewing!

Your job is simply to create, enjoy, experiment, and celebrate the “Ta-Da!” moments along the way.

Whether you’ve made 50 quilts or zero, you belong here, and you’ll finish with something you’re really proud of.
