Hi Suzie, the white pumpkins are the back of the quilt. I loved the way it turned out. If I had used the tan thread in the bobbin instead of the green, the stems on the back would have been more muted. Thank you for your compliment on my border. This is the first time I have cut my border fabric 2" instead of 2.5" and glue basted it all the way. THAT will be my new tried and true way to do it. Elmer's washable school glue works so well.
