4-Patch Stacked Posies #2 - Pumpkins - Progress

This is the progress on the Pumpkin 4-Patch Stacked Posies quilt that I showed you blocks from yesterday.

I have now added orange sashing and green cornerstones. I ran out of orange so you can see in the picture that both sides of this piece are missing a row of orange sashing and green cornerstones. I will have to buy more orange fabric on Monday. Fortunately, I just bought the orange fabric last week so I am certain the quilt shop will still have this fabric and dye lot.

I will then need to add a narrow black inner border and an outer border of the original pumpkin patch fabric. The outer border will only be 4" wide as that is all the fabric I have left. There is no chance to get any more as I have had it in my stash for years!

This top as it sits now in its partially finished state is 39 1/2" x 45".

    I really like this quilt. It just says fall all over it. Wonderful. I will await the finished quilt.

    I am loving how this is turning out, Norma! Amazing how much green showed up in the blocks but the orange in the sashing brings it back to the fall theme very nicely.

    The orange sashing is the perfect touch. Hopefully you can get enough to finish the border.

    I really enjoyed your pictures from the fair - we have nothing like that here.

    Oh my ...... Went through my stash and found a fabric with leaves on it that would be perfect to try this block out.

    I thought the floral versions of this pattern I'd seen were pretty but this is my favorite - it's very unique and interesting looking.

    Norma - this is stunning! The greens set the orange off so well - I must have a go at this technique
