I've had these little 3 inches blocks for a couple of years with not real idea of what I wanted to do with them. I've pulled them out many times but couldn't make up my mind that spoke to me ........ until Autumn finally arrived the other day.
I thought I'd do a giant pumpkin, so this is the design I chose and sketched out.
I chose fabrics from my stash for the pumpkin and shadows areas.
You can't see it very well but the background fabric is a speckled beige.
I made the stem curly which adds interest. Now for the leaf.
I'm liking it....now all I need to do is stitch it down and quilt it.
Measures roughly 18 inches square.

ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting. There are some really different fabric's used in the blocks and the pumpkin just makes them jump out. I also like your new header. It's fun to be able to look back on some of your work altogether and things you love..like the tree.
