Hello September which typically means its fall! So Monday I put up a few of my fall decor items. This is in our entry way where my treadle always resides. I made this pumpkin quilt many years ago, it's still a favorite for September. I believe it is a Thimbleberries pattern. I might add a few more items to this display but I ran out of time. We are getting ready for some Arizona friends to visit today and have dinner with us.
In between cleaning house yesterday I managed to get this one pieced. The four pumpkin/gourd blocks are part of six blocks on a panel I purchased long ago. After getting it I was not inspired to make something with it and it sat in time out at the bottom of a show box of panels. From time to time I pulled them out and looked at them and didn't like them.
A couple weeks ago I pulled it out, again, determined to do something with it. I cut them apart and threw them on the design wall, picked a few fabrics that would go with that coloring of plum, orange and a funky green. And then they hung out there until yesterday. I sashed and border them with a plum batik and an outer border of orange batik. Boom done! Well it needs quilting yet. But the funny thing is I kinda like it now, hahaha.
