The Moonlight Bat collection started with a playful bat design and grew into a set of coordinating quilting patterns. Designed with 2½" fabric strips in mind, these patterns are a fun way to put your jelly roll collections to use. I had fun playing with shapes, colors, and different ways to use the same bat block, turning it into a quilt, rug, pillowcase, placemat, mug rug, and banner. If you enjoy a touch of Halloween whimsy or simply love quirky animal-inspired designs, these patterns are fun to make any time of year.
