Pumpkin time

Now that it is October, the time has come to gather up some pumpkins. I have a nice collection of different size pumpkins for display which will be put out soon. I need to change around my summer decorations for my fall decorations. I don't have many large fall wall hangings and decided it was time to make a pumpkin quilt.

Below are some of my pumpkins that I've made using the English Paper Piecing method. I cut out paper templates and basted them to my fabric.
This is what they look like once appliqued to fabric and contour lines on the pumpkins have been embroidered.
There will be only 25 blocks in this hanging .... so it won't be long before this hanging will be finished.
Have a great day!

    Oh this is SO cute! I grew Cinderella pumpkins this year, the flat funky looking ones, I will harvest 2 this weekend and put on my step. I need a door hanger made up like your pumkins. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

    How delightful......... And it serves for all of the fall holidays from Halloween through Thanksgiving.

    Perhaps a pumpkin pie could be in one of the blocks..........

    what a neat idea. at the moment am not into appliqueing. Thought about it but looking at all those extra steps, maybe later.

    Love the pumpkins! I have memories of the round orange ones we saw last year - have never seen them here.

    With a haloween birthday, I am partial to pumpkins. Maybe one of those needs a jack-0-lantern smile?

    They are brilliant. I love it. For any one who watched the last episode ever of Blackadder, my word verification today was "whibble"
