This was made from scraps of fabric I had. It's nice to have some new pumpkin decorations for the fall season. This block has two corner triangles in the top corners for slipping a dowel in there for hanging.
And I finished the applique pumpkins. Here is mine all finished. I echo quilted around the pumpkin and I bound it in the same muslin as the background fabric. I also put a hanging sleeve on each one for hanging.
I found some fabrics in my stash for a three holiday projects.
I made this tree block with fabric left over from a project last Christmas. I made it into a pillow cover for a 14" pillow form.
I found this leftover Halloween fabric that I bought last year to wrap daughter's birthday present and I turned this fabric into a pillow cover for a 14" pillow form. The costumes on the dogs and cats crack me up.
I used scraps to make these cute pumpkin blocks that I will turn into wall hangings. I found the templates at this link: Scrappy Pumpkin Tablerunner. The navy blue one is mine and the turquoise one is for dear daughter. I place the applique pieces on a 13" square piece of muslin. I still have to sew down the applique pieces, quilt and bind them.
I used a new tool while making my pillow covers. I used the Lori Holt Seam Roller. I like it a lot and I think I will get a lot of use out of it.
After I finish my pumpkins I continue with my scrappy quilt top. After I finish that quilt top I will start on one of the three quilt tops I have planned. After I make those four tops, I will start making string blocks again. I have two big storage boxes of strings that I need to use up.
