Halloween Quilting Design – Cobwebs in the Corners

Ready to quilt a spooky Halloween quilting design? Today we’re learning how to turn Water Plants into Cobwebs in the Corners! This spooky quilting pattern is sure to fill your quilts with chills, perfect for fall themed quilts.

The key to quilting Cobwebs in the Corners into your Halloween quilt is to first plan and maybe even mark some guidelines for quilting the design foundation, Water Plants. By planning the half circle shapes on your quilt, you’re sure to get nice placement in your sashing or borders.

Are you needing a Halloween quilting design for quilt blocks? Check out my Web Fill quilting tutorial here to find the perfect way to quilt squares. I’ve also linked up a few more posts further down so you can keep the spooky theme going all year round!

Inspiration – I love creating seasonal designs because quilters love seasonal quilt patterns! It’s not always easy to create designs specifically for one time of the year, but I think by the end of the project we’ll have a nice selection of seasonal designs.

Difficulty Level – Advanced. This design is tricky because there are so many steps and a good bit of travel stitching. Spacing the designs evenly is difficult, but you can always mark lines or even the full half circle shape for where each cobweb design should be placed. This will allow you to evenly space the cobwebs on both sides of the sashing.

Design Family – Edge to Center. These designs work great in the sashing of a quilt because you can work off the edges of the blocks and into the center. They can be fit into narrow spaces and still look terrific because the design is not intended to take up loads of space.

Directional Texture – 2 Directions. If you really interconnect your cobwebs, you might end up with more of a flat, directionless texture. Play with it and see what you like the best!

Suggestions for Use – Of course Cobwebs in the Corners is going to be perfect for your Halloween quilts, from table runners to wall hangings to a soft throw you pull out to put on the couch. This spooky seasonal quilting design can be quilted densely or if you expand the distance between the lines, it can be quilted soft.

I think Cobwebs in the Corners will be easiest to quilt in the borders of your Halloween quilts. Take your time planning the design and it’s going to look great!

Let’s go quilt,
