Sweet Little Pumpkin #2


This is the second sweet little pumpkin I made at Quilt Camp last weekend.  

THe body of the pumpkin is made entirely from scraps.  I know most of the oranges were left over from this quilt and this one.  

The homespun borders came from a kit my mom had.  The homespun looks a little wonky, so I think I'll secure it a little more with some simple quilting in the borders.  

 

Here's a detail shot of the stitching and the trapunto effect that makes the pumpkin pop up from the background.  There's an extra layer of batting underneath the pumpkin that makes it work.

  

This is the pattern -- Just giving credit where it's due.  

Gifted to Lori Jage to celebrate a tremendous breakthrough in her life.
