$3.00
1 pack orange foxy whiskers in addition, you will need: 1 2.5” strip green 2 2.5” strips cream background 3 3.5” strips and 1 1.5” strip (3/8 yd) border fabric 3 2.5” strips binding 1.5 yd 45” wide or 5/8 yd 60” wide backing 1. Choose 5 strips for your pumpkins. Cut them in half so they are about 21” long. Sew 2 sets of 5 strips together, being sure to sew them in a different order so you have 2 different sets. 2. Press, then cut into 8.5” lengths. This will give you 4 blocks 8.5X10.5.”
3. Cut 4 2.5” squares from a green strip 4. From the cream strips, cut 16 2.5” squares and 8 2.5X4.5” rectangles. Sew a 2.5X4.5” rectangle of background to each side of a 2.5” green square. Create 4 of these. 5. Sew snowball corners to your orange block: Draw a line from corner to corner on the wrong side of 4 background squares. Place one on each corner of your orange strip block, stitch on marked line, fold back.
6. Add your background strip with the green square to the top....
See how easy that was??
7. Now, to put your pumpkin patch runner together... sew 2 blocks together with a 1.5” reserved strip between them to form a pumpkin stack. Make 2 of these, then join them together by stitching the remaining strip of background fabric between the 2 pumpkin stacks like so:
Press your runner before moving on to the next step. 8. Lastly, measure your table runner, which should be about 43.5”, and measure your outer border strips. Some fabrics will be wide enough to fit, some will not but even so, it will be close. If the border strip fits, sew to each long side of your runner, then cut the last strip in half to be 20-ish” and sew to each end.
However, if it is not long enough, sew your 3 border strips together end to end and sew to the short ends first, and then to the long sides...this will stagger your seams. Trim up and press. 9. Lay your backing and batting out, spread your pumpkin patch runner on top. Don’t stretch! Pin baste and quilt some leaves on your stem and some pumpkin-like lines on your pumpkins-or whatever! Bind with the reserved binding strips, then spread on your table and admire! JMA/Urban Artifaks 2011
