Call Me Miss October

That’s right, “Miss October!”  I’m a calendar girl again!  Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of calendar girl — can’t quite pull that off — but I am the kind of girl with a quilt in a calendar.
It’s American Patchwork & Quilting’s 2016 Calendar, to be specific, and it is gorgeous!  The calendar features 12 beautifully photographed projects that range in size from a sweet little Easter table mat, to full-size bed quilts.  
And here’s my quilt, “Glow in the Dark.”
“Glow in the Dark” is a scrappy Halloween quilt that looks great hanging on a wall or displayed on a table.

This quilt is one of my all time favorites.  I especially love how the variety of orange and purple fabrics seem to sparkle in contrast with the black.


And while the quilt is 30″ x 30″, the small pinwheel, star, and shoofly blocks give it a charming, miniaturesque feel.  By the way, if “miniaturesque” is not a word, it should be!




If you’d like to make your own version of “Glow in the Dark,” American Patchwork & Quilting’s 2016 Calendar is now available online through the Meredith Store.  Detailed instructions and patterns for all of the quilts are included in a full-size and full-color supplement.
Happy quilting and Happy Halloween!

    The purple and orange really do seem to glow, and this quilt has so much movement, too. Absolutely love this!

    I adore it! Its absolutely gorgeous! I would love to make it in a larger size.

    Are you going to have a larger sized pattern for this quilt?

    Thanks for your comment, gibbygoo56. I'm sorry, but I don't plan to have a larger sized pattern for this quilt. The pattern included with the calendar is for the 30" x 30" size which I like for the table or the wall. But I do think you're right that this quilt would be nice in a larger size, say a lap quilt. If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to see the finished product. Good luck! Jen
