When I grew up Halloween wasn’t really a thing here in Germany. Well, that definitely has changed and it obviously has caught up with me by now.
You can use these blocks in various projects: a mini quilt, a draw string as a trick or treat bag, placemats or mug rugs. Or make several of them and turn them into a pillow, a wall hanging or a cute little Halloween baby quilt.
The pattern comes in two different sizes (6“ x 6“ and 9“ x 9“) and four different pumpkins with five different stems – so you have 20 possible combinations in total. The pattern comes as PDF files in A4 and US Letter paper format.
This pattern is a beginner friendly foundation paper piecing (FPP) pattern that assumes basic knowledge of paper piecing. It does not include detailed FPP instructions. You can find lots of free tutorials for the various FPP methods online. This pattern can be made with just a few cotton scraps from your stash.
AnneT – neurodiverse creative chaos
creations of a neurodiverse mind
I grew up with the sound of my mum's and grandma's sewing machines and have been sewing since my teenage years. Focused on clothes and accessories first a few years ago I caught the patchwork virus and have been hooked up ever since.
Meanwhile I create my own designs and write patterns for traditional piecing and foundation paper piecing in English and German for beginners and advanced sewers. I love to experiment with different colors and designs and to see what others create with my ideas.
