Weekly Art Project Week 7 Pumpkin

Pumpkin.

This quilt was inspired by the season, Halloween and Jean Wells book Intuitive Colour and Design.  While reading the book it occurred to me that her technique would work for a quiltlet about pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns.  I couldn't find any carved pumpkins so went to the grocery and photographed the boxes of pumpkings wainting to be taken home for carving.  This is the picture I selected.

And then after pulling out a bunch of orange fabrics I decided I could add to the challenge by restricting myself to my scrap bucket.  After all I only needed small pieces.  And then I quilted it using my new 6 inch arc ruler on my Janome with the new ruler foot.  It was a fun exercise.
