56" x 70"
I've finished this pumpkin quilt just time for November! Yes, I realize that fall was also in October, but it really has only been cold enough to use quilts for a day or two. I'm on the fence if I want to keep it. I really like this quilt, but we just rearranged the living room and added a couch. The two jean quilts are sitting on my sectional and I am loving them!
Aside from the background fabric and binding, this quilt top was made entirely from my scrap bins. I had a ton of orange 2.5" squares and was able to dig up enough green, brown and gray between the 2.5" squares, 5" squares, and the 2.5" strips.
I purchase some orange minky for the back since I was initially making this for me. It's wonderfully warm and soft. Too bad I don't live up north were I could use it longer.
It's been so rainy and cloudy here, I decided it was so nice out this morning with the sun coming up we should go out and take a picture in it. So here's the full sun shot for you!

This is so cute! It's a fun fall quilt and I love that you used brighter greens.

ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! I don't believe you are really all THAT sorry you can't use this quilt for long lengths of time. It sure is a fabulous finish, and your quilt holders are doing their usual great job. ~smile~ It is amazing to me that you had that many oranges in your scraps!! I just made one pumpkin block where I need about twenty 2.5" squares and had to really dig - it turns out we don't use orange all that often. I can only imagine how snuggly it is with minky on the back. It probably would decorate that new couch very nicely for November and Thanksgiving! Happy Saturday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
