Farm Road Quilts: Great Pumpkin Quilt Finish

(Warning - lots of orange in this post) Happy October! Well, what's left of it. I have a quilt finish to share today - yay! It's a small lap size - 40" x 50" - perfect for my grandkiddos.

(Sorry about the shady pic)

It's made with a Peanuts Halloween print which was too cute to cut up. You can read more about the fabric and pattern here. I backed it with a Riley Blake medium chevron in black and white, and machine-bound it in a solid black.

I free-motion quilted the large open areas with my favorite wavy lines in orange thread, and echo-quilted in the black squares with black.

Snickers approves.

I also made this little potholder (or maybe snack mat?), while at our guild retreat last month. I just took an orphan block, sandwiched it, quilted it with an elongated zigzag stitch, and bound it. Fun little project.
