There seems to be an abundance of panels in my stash, wonder how that happened!! OK if you have followed me for a while you know I love working with panels. I really like it when they have multiple sizes within the panel so I can take them apart and do fun things with them.
Here is the panel I chose to work with for this project earlier this year. See how I cut out one of the larger pumpkin sections. I also cut two of the smaller ones out also.
After squaring these up, which didn't require much as they are small, I added the orange skinny border to the top and bottom of the large pumpkin panel. A skinny brown border was added to each small pumpkin panel to bring it up to size for the green checkerboard that was sewn around each of them.
Next was to make green pinwheels to fit the bottom of the large panel. Once that was done another section of the skinny orange border went around all of that. I still wasn't satisfied with the look or size so one round of larger checkerboard was sewn together and added. I finished it off wit a skinny green and a larger orange border. See not so hard:) I did not have a grand plan made when I started this wall hanging, instead I just designed it as I went.
Here is the finished wall hanging
Oh wait I didn't show you how I quilted it;)
This was one of my five
Q3 FAL goals, it needed to be quilted and bound which I accomplished. I figured I better get in gear and get some done!! I'll be linking up with them at the end of September.
