{Post 1,196} Pumpkin Patch and Mini Request

I already had 3 pumpkins pieced, and the squares for the center were already cut out as well, so I didn't sew as much as this makes it look like I did.  Well, I did do a lot, but this looks like more.

Tomorrow I will add an outer border and get this quilted and the binding sewn on the front.

It measures 20" x 32" now.  One more border to go.



It was dark in my sewing room, so the colors are not very accurate.  

I have some more of this plaid on point (inner border) fabric that I will use for binding as well.  I think this will be for my kitchen table (until EVERYONE gets here, when we will use this old standby that is huge).  I have a cute quilting motif in mind that involves pumpkin veins, leaves, and tendrils.

A request.  If you make mini quilts, or have a wall of mini quilts, would you send me a picture?  I am hoping most of them can probably be made without patterns.  I see a mini quilt wall in my future!  I won't put any up until I get a few made.  I'd like to see different arrangements and layouts before I put a bunch of holes in my walls.  LOL :)

Very cute pumpkins.
You've seen my minis on my blog, I'm sure. I have put some of them in a corner of my sewing room, but I don't have a whole wall.
