Five Little Ghosts and Friends - PDF (Pattern Expansion Pack)

What's better than a project that features 5 sweet and silly ghosts? A throw quilt that features 20 of them!

The original Five Little Ghosts is a runner-size project that appears in Michelle's book, Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts. Five Little Ghosts and Friends is a supplement to that pattern. It uses jelly roll strips and fat quarters to create a patchwork of cute ghouls, perfect for your Halloween decor.

Please note: To sew the throw-size quilt with this pattern expansion PDF, you will need a copy of Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts, available here. 

Skill level: confident beginner 

Finished size: 60½" x 71½"

Fabric requirements:

• Ghost fabric: 20 Jelly Roll strips
• Black fabric for the eyes and mouths: 1/4 yard
• Colored prints for the backgrounds: 10 fat quarters at least 18" x 21"*
