Halloween Quilt Patterns – 15 of the Best for FREE
If you’re big on fall time specials and Halloween decor in particular, then this blog post featuring free Halloween quilt patterns is set to pleasantly surprise you.
Each year, we see the superstores stocking up on Halloween supplies, with their range getting broader every time. Still, you come across pretty similar (if not the exact same) Halloween goodies everywhere you go. Sometimes, the similarity is repetitive to such an extent that you may start doubting yourself if it’s really just that or if it’s experiencing deja vu for real.
Save yourself and those around you from embarrassing redundancy and whip up your handmade Halloween quilt patterns. After all, this is the time of the year to flaunt your skills.
Free Halloween Quilt Patterns
I was very excited to start working on this blog post as it is Halloween-related, so what else can you expect. Ah! I designed today’s list with one thought clear in my head – it has to be magnificent and spooktacular!
It features some really quirky and interesting patterns that are not so spooky yet still very Halloween-y. While some Halloween quilting patterns are perfect for inducing a few tremors down your younger spectators’ spines, others are not-so-spooky and usable for the rest of the season.
The aim is for everyone to be able to find something to cater to their Halloween setup needs and to whip up some cackling quilts. If you are new to quilting, here are some beginner tutorials.
1. Bats Halloween Quilt
This is an incredibly fun pattern for all Batman fans. I love the contrast of the black and white with the bats oriented at different angles. The Bats Quilt is pretty easy to cut out, as you only have 12 blocks to cut, each of which is 15 inches in length. Patterns from Cluck Cluck Sew
2. Ghost Quilt Block
If spooky and adorable had a baby, it would be this Ghost Quilt Block. This quilt block looks fantastic as a stand-alone pillow cover or a mini quilt. This pattern is for 12″ x 12″ blocks. From Center Street Quilts
3. Oakshott Modern Maples Quilt
Some Halloween quilt patterns leave you awestruck for a good long minute. If you’re obsessed with the beauty of maple leaves and the miracle of fall, you will adore this pattern. Patterns from Diary of a Quilter
4. Fall Pumpkin Quilt
The contrast of the shades of orange against the grey is beautiful and magical. You would want to hold on to this kind of quilt for years. You can use it as a yummy-looking picnic blanket and enjoy some pumpkin spice and all things nice. Patterns from Cluck Cluck Sew
5. Boo to You Mystery Quilt
What an interesting name! It doesn’t stop at the name, though, as it’s followed by an equally interesting quilt pattern featuring pumpkins, triangles, and fall colors in different geometric orientations. Use it as a lap throw or a picnic spread. Patterns from Fort Worth Fabrics Studio
6. Halloween Quilt with Chevrons
The Halloween Chevron Quilt is such an exquisite pattern that would complement any interior. This pattern can brighten up the dullest rooms. Place it on a lovely chair and let it enjoy unshared glory. The best part is that this quilt is easy to make. Patterns from The Little Fabric Shop

You will make 24 bunting flags and add an all-around 5-inch border to enlarge the quilt. It would look amazing as a bed throw or a throw quilt for your favorite couch. Patterns from Diary of a Quilter
8. The Cat Quilt Block
What’s a Halloween décor without the silhouette of a black cat. This interesting pattern is beginner-friendly and works up quickly. You can use the cat quilt block as a standalone table topper block or stitch together multiple such blocks to make an entire quilt. Patterns from The Spruce Crafts
