Twirl Through the Pumpkin Patch

Today is the most gorgeous Fall day.  The trees on our property have all changed and the sky is a perfect blue.  Combined with the sunshine and signs of football everywhere you turn, it's just a great Fall day!

Alright, it's really here.  I've flashed a few of the practice blocks and stencils over the past few posts.  No more teasing :-)

It is my great pleasure to officially introduce my newest pattern, "Twirl Through the Pumpkin Patch!"  

"Twirl Through the Pumpkin Patch," 50" x 64", original pattern by M. Rose Studios.




  All of the blocks are raw edge, fusible applique in the Positive/Negative style with pieced background sashes.  I really had a lot of fun designing and creating this piece.  Not only do I love fall colors, but I love putting bright batiks up against a strong background to really make the colors pop.  I've also never done a quilt that required so much math to make sure all the blocks would fit and assemble. 


This one started with me wanting to create a Tim Burton inspired pumpkin block.  The bigger of the pumpkin blocks came first.  Then came the owls, my personal favorite from the whole quilt.  Overall I am pretty happy with it and I hope you all enjoy it, too!

Next project for me is tackling writing out a pattern!  Wish me luck!

Thank you, as always, for checking in!  Be well and Quilt On!

    This is breath taking, I love it! I know what you mean about writing patterns, it's much harder (for me, anyways) to write down what I did so that others can understand it than it is to actually do it.
