Hive 1 October Bats for Jai

 

I bought a fat quarter of this batik about a year ago for another project. I didn't realize it was bats until I got home! I wasn't able to use it in my other quilt, now I feel it has found its true batty home 🦇 Will be flying to you on Halloween! -Julia

Hive 1 - October Bats for Jai

 

I am not a Halloween person (my birthday is the day after and I have had more than my fair share of themed birthdays for the holiday). But, this was super cute and I was really surprised at how easy it came together. I don't have any holiday fabric but I got to tap into my related colored stash. 

I will get it out in the mail in the next few days. Thanks for letting me push my comfort zone!

Hive 1 Bat blocks for Jai

 This block was particularly magical for me because I have an unnaturally large Halloween fabric stash. I LOVE having the opportunity to dig into it and turn it into a festive quilt. 

The first bat went a little crazy and took a few liberties with the color palette. They can be feisty little creatures. 

We had a little chat, and even though it's EXTRA BATTY, it promises to behave.

So of course we had to make a second bat, because everyone knows the second child is better behaved. This little friend will do its very best to keep big brother in line. 

Your helper is the best. Tell them PSPSPS from me. 🖤

I hope they play well with your other bar friends! 

Happy spooky season,

Nicole

Hi Jai,

No Halloween Fabric to be found in my stash. Hope these have the vibe, though. they were fun to make and are already on their way to you.

Have a lovely, colourful autumn time.

Hive 1 Bat Block for Jai

 

Bat Block

I have very little Halloween fabric so I tried one without holiday specific fabric and one with.  I also really liked the idea of a lighter background.  I hope they will work with your final quilt!

Happy quilting!

Hello Jai,

I went as "Halloween" as I could, without any Halloween fabric!

I appreciate the challenge of getting the wings to mirror each other😉

Thanks for this fun tutorial and the lovely cat pictures!
