I love the colors of Halloween. When Carol of Just Let me Quilt announced the Ghostly Ghouls Blog Hop I knew I wanted to participate. And of course I had to make a pumpkin...
I started by digging in my scrap bin for oranges. I found some lights and some darks and cut 2 1/2" half triangles on my Accuquilt cutter. Then I sewed them together as shown below.
Next I traced a pumpkin outline onto Steam a Seam 2 fusible webbing and stuck it to the back. then I cut out the outline edge of the pumpkin.
After that I added some black shapes for the face and quilted it to look like a pumpkin. I didn't want to use more black for the binding and I already had some white binding made so I went with it. I like that it contrasts.
I hope you get to quilt today!
Suzy
