Itching for the perfect Halloween quilt? Stitch up a quilt that will give you all the spooky vibes without any of the scary sewing. The Broom Cupboard quilt pattern brings the magic of the season back to life with frightfully cute quilt blocks featuring a wise owl 🦉, twinkling evening stars ✨, a curious mouse 🐭, swinging bats 🦇, whimsical will o’ the wisps 👻, and brooms 🧹 that soar through the night sky.

Whether you spend the spooky season snuggled up watching scary movies or decorating your home with pumpkins galore, the Broom Cupboard quilt is the perfect mashup of scary and sweet. Designed for quilters of all levels, the quilt finishes at 70" x 87". That’s big enough to hide the whole ghostly crew!

How does the BOM work? On the first of every month, starting in March, you’ll get a new set of instructions to make three blocks of a creepy critter. We’ll wrap up the quilt in September which means you’ll have plenty of time to make use of the quilt during the spooky season! Sign up and check out the creepy crew and entire BOM calendar below.
