Pumpkin Spice Turned Out Nice!

Fall is in the air…in more ways than one!  The Pumpkin and Spice quilt top is almost done…(needs a border). I thought it was going to be a wall hanging but I don’t think I have a bare wall this big.  I might just use it as a throw on my green couch for something “fallish”…P1030324 P1030325 P1030326 P1030327 P1030328

The free pattern that came with the Pumpkin and Spice panel was useless –too difficult to follow and no pictures to help.  So I ended up doing my own thing…and considering all the problems that arose at the beginning and considering I almost tossed it in the garbage, I think it turned out OK.  In fact I really like it!

    Your Pumpkin quilt will make a great sofa throw.

    As for the link to Quilt Festival, how on earth do you expect me to get on with anything with all these quilts to go look at? You're definitely a very, VERY bad influence.

    That turned out just lovely! I especially like the log cabin patch colours, they are very effective.

    I love the colours of this quilt, and your pattern looks just great, so you must have done a better job than the designer of the pattern.
