Jelly Roll Pumpkin Block ~ Free Block Pattern

Jelly Roll Pumpkin Block ~ Free Tutorial

 Here are the cutting instructions for my

Jelly Roll Pumpkin Block

to celebrate Sew a Jelly Roll weekend. 

Thanks to this event, I take one of the sale jelly rolls off my shelf and sew something with it.

This block was hand drawn on graph paper

and I figured the cutting as I sewed.

Cutting Instructions:

From Jelly Roll:

Cut 6 strips 10.5" by 2.5" for pumpkin

Cut 1 square 2.5" for stem

Cut 1 rectangle 2.5" by 3.5" for leaf

Background:

(may be cut from jelly roll strips)

Cut 4 squares 2.5"

Cut 1 rectangle 2.5" by 5"

Cut 1 rectangle 2.5" by 1.5"

Cut 2 squares 1.5"

Cut 2 rectangles 1" by 10.5" 

I started by sewing the leaf unit.

I like to use my 1/4" seam ruler to cut off the corners before I sew.

You may prefer to draw a line and cut the extra fabric away after you sew.

After I sewed the leaf, I assembles the stem and leaf row.

After completing the top row, I sewed the pumpkin section.

First I sewed the corners of the outside pumpkin strips.

I used the same, cut and sew method to round the corners on the pumpkin.

Then I sewed the pumpkin strips together

 and added the narrow border strips to the side.

Nutmeg was my quilty kitty inspector for this block.

She helped me press the block, too. 

Here is how we pressed the seams in this block.

This Jelly Roll Pumpkin Block measures 12.5" unfinished.

I am working on more blocks for my Jelly Roll Challenge Quilt.

I am also quilting my Bats & Boos Quilt.

I love fall quilts!

Jelly Roll House Block

Hmmm ... according to my post, this block was intended to be the first in a series of jelly roll house blocks.  I think I sewed others. 

 I need to find them and renew this project someday.  

So many quilts to sew ... sew little time. 

Happy Jelly Roll Sewing! 

Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop ~ My Day!

Here is my new Witchy Stitchy Table Runner!

This quilt was made with 

7" Triangles on a Roll HST Papers from Fat Quarter Shop

and this free pattern and tutorial:

High Roller Runner @ The Jolly Jabber

My orange Quilty Kitty Nutmeg and I had fun playing with the HSTs 

and devised our own layout.

This quilt was made with one

 "Fab-Boo-Lous" Jelly Roll @ Fat Quarter Shop

and a half yard of the little witches fabric and one of the main print fabrics.

The white in the center is
 Creme Seeing Stars Grunge by Moda 
from my stash,

The binding was also a fabric from my stash from Bewitching by Deb Strain. 

This jelly roll is now on sale!  

We were very happy with the results.

We played with the extra jelly roll strips from the front and made a pieced back.

We did straight line quilting on our Janome  with bright orange King Tut thread.

This quilt has been black Quilty Kitty Maestro tested and approved.

My quilty kitties and I like to make quilts to be used and enjoyed ...

Quilty Kitty Katniss has been enjoying this runner on the back of our sofa.

Katniss loves a quilt on the back of the sofa and says she thinks this should be called a
"sofa runner" and not a table runner
and that every cat should have one. 

We made this quilt for the
