365 Days Quilt Scraps: Dracula Bat Quilt Block by Olesya Lebedenko October 2, 2020 written by Olesya Lebedenko October 2, 2020 662 Thanks for joining me today in making yet a third scrap quilt block in anticipation for the Halloween season. In the last couple of weeks, I shared the instructions for making the Spooky Pumpkin Block and The Mummy Block. Today I’m sharing a spooky Dracula Bat design! These fun Halloween themed blocks are fun for applying them to candy bags, wall hangings, table toppers, runners, etc. Here’s a candy bag I made with this fun block design. The Dracula Bat Candy Bag, so perfect for Halloween. This free pattern quilt block design is the third in a series for the Halloween season. It was also the 146th block in my 365 days quilt scraps challenge in 2019; Sewing Scrap Blocks with Character I have many more scrap quilt block designs in my new book Sewing Scrap Blocks with Character, that can spark other ideas on themed quilts.
