Halloween - Candy Corn

This post update November 2022.

Halloween is fast approaching and how better to satisfy the sweet tooth than with Candy Corn? 

The members of Quilt Block Mania have designed a wide variety of Halloween themed quilt blocks, perfect for a spooky quilt!

I love Fall and Halloween, mainly because of the colors. When the Quilt Block Mania September block theme of Halloween came up, I said,Heck Ya! and signed myself up.

Check out the list of other designers and the blocks they created to make a terrific Halloween themed quilt. Keep in mind that these blocks may no longer be free. The designers reserve the right to offer the patterns for sale after the initial one-month free period is over.

Quite the variety, right? I went with that traditional Halloween favorite, Candy Corn!

This block measures a finished size of 12" x 12", and is composed of four 6" blocks. Broken apart, each 6" block of candy corn has the possibility of placement in a wide variety of settings - it's all up to the imagination.

So that our blocks all coordinate in color to make a quilt, our palette theme for the Halloween blocks was based on this picture and palette from Design Seeds.

Those are the colors I used in the drawings and in the pattern, though in real life, I made my candy corn with a brighter orange and yellow, and switched the background from black to purple. All that purple discussion in Purple vs Indigo vs Violet rubbed off on me!

I think Halloween Candy Corn looks terrific with the purple background!

Makes me want to grab a handful!

Update:

The Halloween Candy Corn block pattern is now available in my Etsy shop, as  September has now passed.
