Boo to You Mystery Quilt Along – Finish

Beverly — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It’s the final week of the Fat Quarter Shop Boo to You Sew Along, and I’m so excited to show off my finished quilt!

I had such a great time sewing this sweet mystery quilt. Each week brought another playful block—from the Boo banner and Pumpkin Spice Stars to the cutest little ghost—and I love how they all came together in the finished quilt.

For my version, I used prints from my Cozy Autumn fabric collection. Even though the collection has more of a classic fall feel, adding the Dainty Daisy Licorice background gave everything such a fun Halloween spin! The warm oranges, rusts, golds, and soft creams really pop against the black, and I love the scrappy patchwork border around the outside. I used the Melon colorway of the Pumpkins print as the backing to keep in line with the Halloween theme.

I finished the quilt with Dainty Daisy Licorice for the binding as well. It frames the quilt perfectly and ties in beautifully with the background. For the quilting, I chose the Cob Webs pantograph from Sew Shabby Quilting. It looks so sweet against that black background.

This was such a fun quilt to sew, and I love that it feels festive for Halloween while still showing off all those pretty autumn colors. It’s going to be so cute displayed this fall!

All of the free Boo to You quilt patterns are now available from Fat Quarter Shop, so you can still stitch up your own—even if you didn’t sew along with us each week. There’s also a coordinating cross stitch pattern for even more Halloween stitching fun!

Thanks so much for following along with my Boo to You quilt!

Sewcialites 3: Completed Quilt

My Sewcialites 3 quilt is finished, and I am completely in love with how it turned out! It has been so much fun watching this quilt grow one block at a time, and I love seeing all these gorgeous blocks together at last.

Today, Fat Quarter Shop is releasing the finishing instructions! There are so many creative ways you could arrange and finish these blocks, but I chose to follow the provided layout with one little twist. I added a 3″ border in Stargazer Dainty Daisy to make the quilt a bit larger and give it a pretty finished frame.

The finishing pattern calls for a setting fabric, and I chose the Stardust Dainty Daisy colorway. I love the deep blue against the soft colors in the blocks—it really makes every block stand out and shine! I also added extra squares from Correspondence throughout the setting to continue the scrappy look of the quilt.

For the backing, I used the Correspondence Tan Doily wide back print. I finished everything off with the cloud stripe from Correspondence for the binding, and I love how the different colors in the stripe make it look like a pieced binding. It is such a fun detail!

You can find the Sewcialites 3 finishing pattern at Fat Quarter Shop. It has been such a treat to be part of this sew along, and I couldn’t be happier with my finished quilt!

Boo to You Mystery Quilt Along – Week 3

Beverly — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We’re back with Week 3 of the Boo to You Sew Along, and this week’s block might just be my favorite yet! The Peek a Boo Bestie Block features the sweetest little ghost, and I am completely smitten with how cute this block turned out.

I’m sewing along with my Cozy Autumn collection, and for the ghost I used the Linen Vines print from the collection. I just love the soft texture it adds to the block — it gives the ghost such a pretty, subtle dimension. It also stands out so nicely against the Dainty Daisy Licorice background, which makes all those sweet ghosty details really pop.

This whole quilt has been such a fun way to mix fall style with a little Halloween charm. Even though Cozy Autumn is more fall than spooky, I think it works so beautifully in these blocks and gives the quilt a softer seasonal look.

If you’re sewing along too, I’d love to know what fabrics you’re using for your ghost this week! Be sure to grab the Week 3 pattern and join in on the fun.
