Join the Friendly Phantoms QAL
Are you ready to get your quilting on track and have a spooky quilt top ready in time for Halloween? The Friendly Phantoms QAL is here to guide you through every step, ensuring you finish with a beautiful quilt top just in time for the festivities.
This Quilt-A-Long (QAL) is designed to keep you motivated and on schedule, so you can enjoy a stress-free and fun quilting experience. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just starting, this QAL is perfect for staying focused and completing your project before the trick-or-treaters arrive!
Pick your Pattern Format
The Friendly Phantoms QAL features a fat-quarter friendly pattern that comes in three different formats to suit your needs: PDF, Paper Booklet, and On-Demand Video Course. This versatility allows you to choose the format that best fits your quilting style.
The PDF version is perfect for those who like instant access, while the Paper Booklet is ideal for those who prefer a traditional approach. If you’re someone who loves step-by-step guidance, the On-Demand Video Course is just for you! No matter which format you choose, you’ll have all the instructions you need to create a quilt that’s as fun to make as it is to display.
The Fabrics
To make this QAL even more exciting, I’ve partnered with two of my favorite quilt shops, **The Fabric Chic** and **Sew Enchanting Equine**, to bring you some amazing fabric kits! These curated kits are designed to perfectly complement the Friendly Phantoms pattern, ensuring your finished quilt will be a showstopper. If you’re looking for something like the cover quilt, I also have a solids option available from my own **Sew Much Moore Shop**. These fabric kits come with everything you need to make your quilt top – Including the paper booklet pattern!

The Friendly Phantoms QAL is designed to be flexible and fun, so don’t worry if life gets in the way—you’ll still be able to complete your quilt top in time for Halloween!
