There is a pattern at the bottom of this page that gives more details. In this pattern, you have the option of using a specialty ruler, called an **[On-Point Ruler](https://www.amazon.com/shop/scrapdash?listId=3JDO2TJLE9ZT9)** by Quilt in a Day to make the Triangle in a Square block. (You can also use the **[Accuquilt die #55770](https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=50439&userid=1512603&productid=1214605353&afftrack=)**[ )](https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=50439&userid=1512603&productid=1214605353&afftrack=) The piecing of this block is tricky the first time. Take your time! Full instructions are in the pattern, or you can download the technique sheet below. Both the pattern and the technique sheet include a paper-piecing template. ### **[See the Triangle On-Point Tutorial here](https://scrapdash.com/how-to-make-a-triangle-on-point-quilt-block/)**. ![Zombies Ahead Sign](https://scrapdash.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/zombies.jpg) ## Fabric Requirements - 5/8 yard Zombie Flesh (mine is a mottled batik, which did not show up well in the pictures) - 1/4 yard Background - 5/8 yard Zombie Flesh - 1/4 yard Zombie Smile and Eyes - 1/8 yard Zombie Nose - 5/8 yard Zombie Eyebrows and Hair, Border and Binding This quilt is made almost entirely of Triangle On-Point Blocks.

The Fourth row makes the chin.## Here’s My Zombie Add a black border to make the hair and frame the face. I will be quilting details in the face to make it stand out from the background a little better. I think this will end up as a table topper, although I might put it on the front door Halloween night. ![Zombie Mini-Quilt](https://scrapdash.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Zombie-w-iborder-1-798x800.jpg) ## Here are other Halloween ideas: - [Boo!-ti-ful Halloween Wall Hanging or Lap Quilt](https://scrapdash.com/boo-ti-ful-halloween-wall-hanging) - [Halloween Hoppin’ – Using Purple in a Halloween Quilt](https://scrapdash.com/halloween-hoppin) - [Halloween Freebie – Spiders in My Attic](https://scrapdash.com/halloween-freebie-spiders-attic) - [Ghastly Ghouls and Zombies](https://scrapdash.com/ghastly-ghouls-and-zombies) - [A Batty Pumpkin Quilt Block](https://scrapdash.com/pumpkin-quilt-block) - [Free Braided Table Topper Pattern for Halloween](https://scrapdash.com/free-braided-tabletopper-pattern) - [Orange You Glad Harvey?](https://scrapdash.com/orange-you-glad-harvey/) - [Boo!
