SPOOK-TACULAR NIGHT: A Charm Pack Tutorial (Part 1)

Lately I have been obsessed with Charm Packs. If you look here, you will see just how obsessed I am with Charm Packs!

Halloween is right around the corner and I wanted to create a SIMPLE quilt that could be created quickly and be done with a minimal amount of cutting. SPOOK-TACULAR NIGHT can literally be made in a few hours, so grab your favorite Halloween Charm Pack and let's get "spooking"!

• Sub cut each strip into 2 7/8" X 2 7/8" squares.
• You will need a total of (40) 2 7/8" X 2 7/8" squares.

Also from the Bella Solid Stone, cut:
