Work In Progress–The Pumpkin Mini-Quilt

October 2, 2013

Pumpkin Log Cabin Quilit

Every year on our quilt retreat, a small group of us make a “mini-quilt” in addition to the Big Project being taught at the retreat.  This year, our theme was pumpkins.  It started with some strips of orange fabric and a Halloween cat fabric for backing.

We all just free-formed our quilts, using the log cabin (my favorite) as the basic pattern.

After I finished my pumpkins, I auditioned them on several backgrounds…

My sister assembled her pumpkins in a strip…

I went with a dark background and an informal two-by-two arrangement.

And guess what??? I machine quilted the mini quilts for my two sisters and they stitched my binding!!!  Woo-hoo!

I have more orange fabric…and there is still 29 more days until Halloween…I’m going to stitch a whole pumpkin patch!  Won’t you join me?

      That was a small cut of fabric we got from one of the ladies at the quilt retreat. I would love to get more,too! I have posted a note on Facebook to see if anyone can help us find it. The typewriter fabric is from Andover-by Alison Gilmore and is a 2013 print. If you find any handwriting fabric, would you please let me know?

      From what I can find, it looks to be from an out of print line by Nancy Wolff called “Cats on the Loose” . The fabric might be called Kitty Talk – Crazy Kitty Words. I found some that sold on Etsy in black with white writing.

      Funny about the the witch quilt being a form of Sunbonnet Sue–that is the one quilt I don’t like… now I have to reconsider!

    Violet Craft’s Madrona Road collection (Michael Miller) has a nice handwriting print called Memoir. It is black on white and white on black.
