FINISHING

7 Sew together (7) 21⁄2" x WOF Fabric A binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together and set aside until quilt is ready for binding.

8 Once the top is complete it is ready for quilting! Quilts can be sent out for longarm quilting or you can quilt it yourself. If you are sending the quilt out, it is important to discuss backing and batting requirements with the quilter to ensure they have the quilt.

9 If quilting yourself and using 44" fabric for backing, choose your favorite method for piecing (taking time to remove selvedges), then trim excess batting and backing and bind according to your favorite method.

10 To complete binding by hand, the quilt top. Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers, matching raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of

the two loose ends meet, fold each side back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1⁄4" and press seam open. The binding will naturally fold, wrong sides together, and lay along the quit edge. Finish sewing binding to quilt. Turn and press the binding to the back of the quilt and hand stitch in place.

11 If machine binding, complete the steps above only attach the binding to the BACK of the quilt, turn and press to the front of the quilt and machine stitch in place.

RST = Right Sides Together

1 Fold (1) Fabric A piece RST. Sew a 1⁄4" seam across the top as shown (Fig. 1). Open and trim the corners at the tip of the piece. Turn right side out so that the wrong side and seam allowance is hidden. The top of the piece should have a sharp point, and the entire piece should lay flat. Press. Repeat to make (40) each Unit A of Fabrics A and J, and (32) each Unit A of Fabrics D, E, I, and K. Trim away more of the seam allowance at the point if needed.

2 Sew (2) Unit A together as shown (Fig. 2 shown top right), using the 1st & 2nd Template 1 pairings listed below.

3 Sew (8) Unit A pairs together to make (1) Ring Unit (Fig. 3). Make the total number of Ring Units listed in the chart. Press seams open.

Spooky Spinners Quilt

4 Fold (1) Fabric M 141⁄2" square in half, then half again. Finger-press the folds to mark the centers of each side. Center and pin a Ring Unit onto the 141⁄2" square, making sure the unit is flat. Baste 1⁄4" around the inside circle and then topstitch around the outside pointed edge to secure the Ring Unit to the square (Fig. 4). Repeat to make a total of (13) Ring Units.

Fig. 4

5 Baste a scant 1⁄4" around each Template 2 piece as shown in Figure 5. Gently pull the threads so that the seam allowance starts to ease and turn to the wrong side. Press the seam allowance to the wrong side so that the circle lays flat and is a smooth curve.

Fig. 5

6 Fold the Template 2 pieces in half, and half again, finger pressing the folds to mark each of the four quadrants.

7 Turn a Ring Unit block on point and pin the corresponding Template 2 circle in the center, covering the raw edge, and aligning the motif with the top corner as shown in Figure 6. Pin and topstitch around the circle to complete the block. Remove any basting stitches that may be visible after topstitching. Repeat for each pairing to make the total number of blocks listed in the chart below.

TOP ASSEMBLY

8 Sew the blocks, Fabric M 21" QSTs and Fabric M 103⁄4" HSTs together into diagonal rows, referring to the Quilt Layout Diagram (page 8) for block placement and orientation in each row. Press even rows right and odd rows left. Sew the diagonal rows together to complete the quilt top.

Spooky Spinners Quilt

FINISHING

9 Sew together (7) 21⁄2" x WOF Fabric B binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together and set aside until quilt is ready for binding.

10 Once the top is complete it is ready for quilting! Quilts can be sent out for longarm quilting or you can quilt it yourself. If you are sending the quilt out, it is important to discuss backing and batting requirements with the quilter to ensure they have everything needed to properly finish the quilt.

11 If quilting yourself and using 44" fabric for backing, choose your favorite method for piecing (taking time to remove selvedges), then layer, baste and quilt. Once finished, trim excess batting and backing and bind according to your favorite method.

12 To complete binding by hand, it must first be machine sewn to the quilt top. Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers, matching raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where the two loose ends meet, fold each side back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1⁄4" and press seam open. The binding will naturally fold, wrong sides together, and lay along the quit edge. Finish sewing binding to quilt. Turn and press the binding to the back of the quilt and hand stitch in place.

13 If machine binding, complete the steps above only attach the binding to the BACK of the quilt, turn and press to the front of the quilt and machine stitch in place.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• 100% cotton thread in colors to match

• 40" x 48" (1.02m x 1.22m) batting

• Template material (or for fusible method, a light box or surface for tracing)

• Optional for all appliqué methods: 1 yard clear vinyl or 45"- wide lightweight sew-in interfacing such as Pattern Ease or Pellon Easy Pattern, or large sheets of tracing paper for appliqué placement pattern

• Optional for fusible raw-edge appliqué method: 4 yards paper-backed fusible web, such as Pellon 805 Wonder-Under

• Optional for machine turned-edge appliqué: 4 yards lightweight interfacing, such as Pellon 911F (fusible) or Pellon PLS36 (sew-in)

• 83" x 98" (2.11m x 2.49m) batting

PREP

1 The full-size Appliqué Placement Pattern will be used to place the prepped appliqués without any need to measure. Either send the copy shop version (download from FreeSpirit Fabrics Projects page) to a copy shop or online print service to be printed at full-size/100%, or print the appliqué placement pattern (pages 14-32) included here on 81⁄2" x 11" paper. For 81⁄2" x 11" pages, tape together as indicated. If desired, trace the placement pattern onto a translucent material like tracing paper, lightweight sewin interfacing, or vinyl (use a dry-erase marker if you want to re-use the vinyl for a different project) to make it even easier to place the prepped appliqués precisely.

2 Print the Template Patterns (pages 9-13) at 100%/actual size.

3 Trace the individual template patterns onto your preferred template material and cut them out on the traced line. For fusible appliqué, skip this step if you plan to trace the shapes directly onto the fusible web. Mark the template number and the fabric letters as listed on the Fabric Layout Diagram (page 7) onto each template. Flip the template over to trace a reversed shape as the quilt is symmetrical.

Costumes and Cobwebs Skellington Wall Hanging

CUTTING

• Choose your preferred method of appliqué and follow the directions on the following page to cut and prep the pieces listed in the Appliqué Cutting table.

• For fabrics with many pieces, you may want to lay out all the template patterns first to check placement before cutting.

• For all shapes other than circles and hearts, you will need 1 and 1 reversed (1 + 1 r) of each template listed per fabric – any variations are listed in parentheses.

• Some shapes may be challenging for methods other than fusible appliqué so you may want to practice with scraps first. You can also mix methods based on the shape.

Fusible Raw-edge Appliqué

1 Use a pencil to trace each template marked (right) side down on the paper side of the fusible web as many times as needed for each fabric as shown on the Fabric Layout Diagram (page 7), leaving about a 1⁄2" between pieces. For the reversed shapes, place the template marked (right) side up so that the finished shape will be mirrored. If it’s simpler for you, just make reversed templates as needed. It can be helpful to group pieces to be cut from the same fabric together on the web when tracing. Make sure to mark the template number on each fusible piece as many look similar.

2 Cut the fusible web apart roughly 1⁄4" from the line. If you’ve grouped them by fabric, just cut around each group.

3 Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to fuse the web to the wrong side of the corresponding fabrics, then cut out on the drawn line. Leave the paper backing in place until ready to place the appliqués on the background.

Machine-turned Appliqué

1 Repeat Step 1 for Fusible Raw-edge Appliqué, tracing onto interfacing instead (if using fusible interfacing, trace onto the non-fusible side). Work one fabric at a time.

2 Place the traced shapes, tracing side up, on top of the corresponding fabrics, right side up. Pin together, stitch on the marked line, and cut out through both layers 1⁄4" from stitching line. Trim corners and clip and notch curves, making sure not to cut the stitching.

3 Carefully cut a small slit in the interfacing and turn the piece right side out. If using fusible interfacing, use a turning tool, or for sew-in interfacing, an iron on low to gently press out any corners and smooth out curves.

Needle-turn Hand Appliqué

1 Use a chalk pencil that can easily be removed from the fabric to trace the templates, right side up, as many times as needed for each fabric as shown on the Fabric Layout Diagram onto the right side of the corresponding fabrics. Trace reversed shapes by turning the template marked-side down before tracing. Leave at least 3⁄4" between shapes on the same fabric.

2 Cut out the shapes, adding about 3⁄16" (or your desired seam allowance) from the traced lines.

3 Finger press along the traced line to crease (the line should not be visible from the top once creased). This makes the edge easier to turn under when hand stitching.

Costumes and Cobwebs Skellington Wall Hanging

CONSTRUCTION

1 Fold the background in half vertically and horizontally and crease to mark guidelines.

2 Use the full-size placement pattern and the Fabric Layout diagram (page 7), matching the dashed center lines to the creased background, to place the prepped appliqués onto the background, starting with pieces 1, 2, 3, and both 35s along the vertical center line. Fuse following manufacturer’s instructions or glue, pin, or thread baste in place as needed for your chosen method.

3 Appliqué in place using your desired technique. For fusible raw-edge appliqué, you can skip this step if you plan to quilt dense straight lines over the entire piece. Blanket stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch in a coordinating thread works well for machine-finishing.

4 Continue placing and appliquéing pieces a few at a time, following the layering shown in the placement pattern, until all have been appliquéd. If shapes are part of a mirrored pair, place both in the same step.

5 Press from the wrong side and square up to 341⁄2" x 421⁄2".

FINISHING

6 Sew the 21⁄2" x WOF Fabric J strips end-to-end using diagonal seams to make one continuous piece. Press the seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together.

7 Layer the backing (wrong side up), batting, and quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together and quilt as desired. Trim excess batting and backing even with the quilt top after quilting is completed.

8 Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers matching all raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1⁄4" and press open. Finish sewing binding to quilt.

9 Turn the binding to the back of the quilt and hand stitch in place.

6 Sew together (9) 21⁄2" x WOF Fabric E binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together and set aside until quilt is ready for binding.

7 Once the top is complete it is ready for quilting! Quilts can be sent out for longarm quilting or you can quilt it yourself. If you are sending the quilt out, it is important to discuss backing and batting requirements with the quilter to ensure they have everything needed to properly finish the quilt.

8 If quilting yourself and using 44" fabric for backing, choose your favorite method for piecing (taking time to remove selvedges), then layer, baste and quilt. Once finished, trim excess batting and backing and bind according to your favorite method.

9 To complete binding by hand, it must first be machine sewn to the quilt top. Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers, matching raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where the two loose ends meet, fold each side back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1⁄4" and press seam open. The binding will naturally fold, wrong sides together, and lay along the quit edge. Finish sewing binding to quilt. Turn and press the binding to the back of the quilt and hand stitch in place.

10 If machine binding, complete the steps above only attach the binding to the BACK of the quilt, turn and press to the front of the quilt and machine stitch in place.
