Pumpkin & Stars Quilted Table Runner #2

I made another Pumpkin & Stars Table Runner. The first one I made longer with seven pumpkins, but it came out too long, so I took out 2 pumpkins. I gave that one to my sister because she has a long table. Well then I had 2 pumpkins and thought I might as well make one more pumpkin and make another runner. This is how the Pat Sloan pattern is with 3 pumpkins and 2 stars. I really like this runner and if I had a rectangle or oval table I would keep it myself, but I have a round table, so I would have to design a round topper or rounder for my table.

I love how the pumpkins are made with several orange fabrics and then cut into the pumpkin shape applique. I quilted free form leaves around the pumpkins.

The back of the runner. I had to piece a pop of green to make it long enough, but I like how that looks.

Pumpkin & Stars Table Runner

I have been making table runners for my sister. She wanted holiday table runners. So I mailed this off to her already so she could use it now, rather than give it as a gift in December and have to wait nearly a year to use it. 

This was a free pattern designed by Pat Sloan, that she calls Wonderful Pumpkins. On Pat's runner she sewed on a ton of buttons to her pumpkins though! Well that isn't very practical to have buttons like that on a runner and besides that, it really covers up the fact that the pumpkins were patchwork. So I did not sew on buttons and I made this runner longer too. Pat made hers with 3 pumpkins and I added 2 more pumpkins and 2 more stars to make this my runner longer.  I love this design and it is a great scrap buster project too! I dug into my black, gray, orange, white and purple scrap bags to make this runner. I accidentally made too many blocks, because I forgot about the border when I was figuring this runner, so if I make one more block, I will have a set of 3 pumpkins and can make one the size of Pat's.

Today is also my nephew's birthday, so Happy Birthday Drew!
