Saying Goodbye to Pumpkins

My pumpkins always come in after Halloween, and and this year that includes my Turkey Trot flimsy.

The original plan was to include it in this year's Quilts for Survivors (QFS) shipment, but the timeline for its delivery was moved up unexpectedly and this one was still on the design wall with work to be done. Not to worry, it can become the seed for next year's shipment (sort of like sourdough starter 😉).

It so cute with all of those squirrels and pumpkins and leaves framed in autumn-coloured polka dots! And it's nice and scrappy, too.

I'm getting better at cutting my remnants into strips and squares and the 2 1/2" pile came in handy for all of the 16-patch blocks.

Still love these little squirrels in their cozy sweaters.

Hopefully all of those fun fall creatures put a smile on someone's face - they still do for me!









At 48" x 64" it meets the size that QFS is looking for, but occasionally I look at it and wonder if it needs a border. Today I'm thinking that it doesn't.....M

Lovely fall colours. Gail at the cozy quilter. I have lots of sour dough starters in my sewing room.
