Punkin Inspired

Had to get DH to hold up quilt for me.
Was a tad to big to pin to my design wall.
I still have a wee bit more quilting to do on it and the binding.
Did the blanket stitch applique after I layered so makes for neat qulting too.
That is a Pat Sloan technique. By the way excited to be doing a work shop with Pat in Oct!

I call this one Punkin Inspired because it was inspired by a quilt I saw Here.
Hers was based on a Blackbird Design you can read about here.
Blackbird Design's quilt would be a wonderful large bed quilt to make for the season!
The booklet/pattern pops up on Ebay and Etsy once in a while.

My finished quilt is not quite same as both of the above ones but they did inspire me to make it so I wanted to give them a shout out!
I drew out all my own pumpkin designs on Heat n Bond Lite. Used the GO! to cut my stars and the small half square triangles for the border.

My quilt is wall size. I plan to hang it on my living room wall behind sofa.
So I hope to have it finished and hung up this week!!!
With our cooler temps here it makes me want to cook soups n chowders and put up all my Fall decor!!!
