Pumpkin with Big Stitch Accent

I'm excited to share this free pattern for this Pumpkin wall quilt! You might remember a white pumpkin pillow I made a few years ago. A friend asked for a wall quilt just like it and I thought I'd bring you in on the process this time. This is a perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Fall decor!

Fabric piece requirements:
(15" x 18" wall quilt, square pillow adjustments below)

Stem (grey)
1.5" x 1.5" 
2.5" x 1.5"

Leaf (blue):
 3.5" x 2.5"

10.5" x 12.5"

3" x 12.5" (2)
3" x 18.5" (2)
5" x 2.5"
3" x 2.5"
3" square (4)
1.5" square (5)
approx. 2" x 3" scraps and cutoffs (8)

NOTE: If you want to make an 18" square pillow cover (for a 20" form) like I did last time, widen the top and bottom borders to 4.5" cut instead of 3". 

Other Supplies:


I've linked each of the fabrics to the exact print I used, you can see the names in the links. The binding I used was from the Orchard line by Prairie Grass Patterns, Sky Blue Plaid, but sadly I could not find it anywhere. Maybe you'll have better luck finding it than I did!



Now, go check out the IG videos I have recorded here, I'll walk you though the process with the piecing. Here's what's shown in the video-

Step 1: Sew (8) background scrap pieces as shown in video to soften corners.

Step 2: Sew (4) 3" background corner triangles to pumpkin rectangle using stitch and flip method

Step 3: Sew (5) 1.5" background corner triangles to leaf and stem pieces, as oriented. 

Step 4: Assemble leaf and stem, attach to pumpkin and press. 

Step 5: Attach borders. 


Now your top is pieced you can quilt and bind as desired! I chose to quilt mine in a crosshatch, then attach the binding, then add the final touch of big stitch quilting to look like the grooves in a pumpkin. You'll find videos showing all these steps in the IG highlight. 


I hope you enjoy this Pumpkin mini quilt, it's just my favorite kind of thing! Let me know if you have questions or comments about it, send me an email or comment here. Thanks!

    1. Oh great question I will add that. It's 15" x 18", unless you follow the note to make a square for an 18" pillow.

  8. Hello! I love this pattern and want to make it this week! I can’t get the link to the tutorial video to work and searched your Instagram to no avail. Is there somewhere else I can find the tutorial video?!

  9. Searching for the video… Not sure if this is a case of lack of sleep or a Dim Kim moment (fleeting hopefully)!

  10. Many people have won a good quantity at the slot machines, then lost it all again earlier than they left the on line casino. To avoid 코인카지노 having that happen to you, make a plan for how you’ll handle your winnings. Mills Novelty Co. created a feature in the Nineteen Twenties referred to as “Skill Stop”, the place a participant could push a button to cease the reels and attempt to affect a win. A feature nonetheless in style on games at present across the Illinois VGT market. Despite the initial recognition of Fey's invention, slot machines have undergone many transformations over time.
