Spooktacular Heat N Bond Lap Quilt

Howdy ya'll, it's Jamie Mueller of Sunflower Quilts back with another fun project. I made this cute Halloween Quilt just in time to decorate for Fall but this technique can be used for any design or holiday. If you have a fabric you love with a large motif, take this technique a make a different quilt. The possibilities are endless and remember, let the FABRIC do the WORK! Spooktacular HeatNBond Quilt Finished size: 66 ½” X 66 ½” Supplies: *Fabric used: Spooktacular by Blend Fabrics 49-10” squares (24- FQ OR 12-1/3 yard cuts) 1 yard Jack-o-lantern fabric (enough to cut out 24-full Jack-o-lanterns) 1 yard Heat N Bond® Ultrahold 4 yards backing fabric ½ yard binding fabric

Directions: 1. If you’re not using precut 10” squares, cut 49-10” squares. 2. Fuse Heat N Bond® Ultra on the WRONG side of Jack-o-lantern fabric. [tooltip text="TooltipText"]*TIP: Let the fabric do the work! I was going to draw my own jack-o-lantern patterns until I saw how CUTE the Blend Fabrics jack-o-lanterns were. It saved so much time just fusing Heat N Bond onto the actual fabric. Say it with me, “Let the fabric do the work!”.[/tooltip] *Please excuse how dirty my Oliso Pro Iron is; I use it everyday and HIGHLY recommend it! 3. Cut out 24- Jack-o-lanterns using sharp small scissors. 4. Following package instructions, fuse jack-o-lanterns onto 24-10” squares. 5. Using a small zig-zag stitch and matching thread to jack-o-lanterns, stitch around entire jack-o-lanterns for all 24 blocks. [tooltip text="TooltipText"]*TIP: use a monofilament thread (clear) like I did if you do not want to see your appliqué stitches.[/tooltip] 6. Layout blocks 7 rows x 7 blocks as desired. 7. Sew blocks together until quilt top is completed. 8. Quilt and bind as desired. Enjoy your fun new quilt and remember to use this appliqué technique to let the FABRIC do the WORK for your next quilt project!
