McCall’s Quick Quilts – October 2019

10 McCall’s Quick Quilts October/November 2019

Color Play!

The large patches in this quilt are perfect

for showing off novelty prints like the

Halloween fabrics that were used in the

original design. Denise used a fun Christ-

mas fabric with a retro feel to create her

own vision of Tricks & Treats.
