*^* Spooky Spun Sugar Little Quilt*^*

I started this little project a month or so ago. Finally finished the binding just in time for Halloween.

I found a cool ruler by Creative Grids and thought I would share with you how to use it and inspire you to create something a bit wonky for this Halloween.

Spooky Spun Sugar Quilt

16" X 16"

Supplies:

Charm Pack Haunted Mansion by Sanae for Moda

1/2 yard Haunted Mansion sku #322376-17

1 yard Bella Solid Grey

Creative Grid Straight Out of Line Ruler

Cut 5" strip of Bella solid Grey

Subcut the Bella Grey into {8} 5' squares

Choose 8 charm squares (9 shown as one was my test block)

Now layer one grey 5" solid with one charm square.

****Be sure that the print is facing up****

Make 4.

Line up the Straight Out of Line Ruler on the 5 mark.

Cut on the ruler edge.

 Following instructions on the ruler, TURN the ruler 90 degrees and cut again.

The results is 4 wonky pieces.

Shuffle the pieces by alternating 2 solids and 2 prints as shown.

Sew together similar to a 4 patch, carefully flipping on piece on to the other and pinning.

Because of the wonky cuts, they will not line up the same as straight cut pieces.

You should have 8 blocks 4.5" X4.5" at this point.

Next:

Take a solid 5" square and layer it with a charm square wrong side up.

*****Print MUST be wrong side up*****

Continue to subcut the squares the same way as you did for the first 8 blocks.

It is critical, for a successful arrangement, that you DO NOT flip the ruler in this entire process.

Just TURN the ruler. IF you flip it, then ALL your blocks will go the same direction and the solid will not alternate with the prints once they are sewn together (ask me how I know this).

If your blocks are correctly cut, then continue to piece them as before.

 You should have 8 more 4.5" X 4.5" wonky blocks.

Arrange your blocks as desired, I chose to have the solid alternate with the prints.

In addition to that, when I quilted the quilt, I connected the corners with straight line quilting using a matching grey thread.

 Bind in a strip on the bias or however you wish. I just really wanted to use that print because I like the spiders on it :)

And there you have it.
