WIP Wednesday

Today's task, to finish up the binding on my pumpkin quilt!  I'm so excited to get this one finished!

 

And how is this for binding math- I ended up with 4" leftover.  I'm actually impressed I even had this much leftover, I only had a fat quarter of this fabric and was pretty sure I could make it work without making bias binding.  I was right, but just barely! 

WIP Wednesday

It's the Great Pumpkin(s)!

Once again I was inspired by a Pin- http://pinterest.com/pin/207024914090401810/- I thought it was a such a fun quilt for the Fall with all the pumpkins on it.  Yeah... apparently the name of the quilt is Fresh Squeezed, as in citrus/oranges.  But with a simple little modification, the elimination of a leaf and addition of a stem, it becomes pumpkins!  At least, I hope it does :) 

I started this last year, then lost interest after Halloween.  Now I am getting into a Fall state of mind and enjoying going through some old WIPs and finishing them up in time for the season this year.  I still need to add the white border to either side of this little quilt top, then I can baste it and quilt it.  I'm thinking of getting creative with the quilting- green loops, maybe some leaves, in the white spaces above the pumpkins to look like vines that the pumpkins are growing on, on the pumpkins I am thinking of trying to mimic the lines/ridges on a pumpkin, and - inspired by Angela Walters latest piece of advice to "make a rule, then break the rule" - quilt one pumpkin with a jack-o-lantern face.  Really hoping this turns out as cute in real life as it looks in my head.
