Fall Into A QAL Block 7!

Today's the day Block 7 is released! What is fall without pumpkins?! Bobbi from Snowy Days Quilting designed this Pumpkin Patch block! I love that you can make the block with 5 of the same pumpkins like I did or make all the pumpkins look different!

My block is made of all Moda Grunge fabrics. I ended up cutting all the pieces for the pumpkin at once but made one pumpkin before chaining the rest.

It was a good thing I made one pumpkin, I realized I picked up the wrong size corner square when I started making the rest of the pumpkins! Be sure to keep track of each size and the correct corner to add the square.

A quick tip about stitch and flip corners, make sure to sew on the line a hair towards the corner that you cut off. You can check your sewing by opening the corner first to make sure it isn't too small before trimming the corner off.

I can't believe we are on the back half of the quilt along! 7 blocks down, 5 more to go!

Don't forget to submit your completed block on Bobbi's linky party, the Facebook Group Page, and/or on Instagram with #FallIntoAQAL to be entered into this week's prizes! One lucky person will win an Everything Mary Tag-Along Craft Storage Travel Tote! Everything Mary is a family-owned company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, dedicated to providing stylish, clever ways for sewers and crafters to get organized!

The prize entry window starting from 12AM Eastern on August 7, 2018, until 11:59PM Eastern on August 20, 2018.

As a reminder, I have a quick links page to catch up on the blocks in this QAL and my associated blog posts. You can also get to that page by clicking the Fall Into A QAL button on the right sidebar.

The sponsors for the grand prize have also been announced. In order to be eligible for the grand prize, you must make a quilt top using all twelve of the QAL blocks by November 13th, 2018. Please note that all patterns are only free until the end of the QAL.
