I appreciate all of the kind comments and requests for the pattern! Theresa on the board sent the pattern to me. She also has a copy of her hanging with closeups that were helpful. It is basically a log cabin block with a 1 1/2" center and you add three "logs" to the top and bottom and four "logs" to the side giving it a more rectangular look. You add 1 1/2" corners to the four outside corners sewing across diagonally and trim to triangles. The stem is 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" to which you add a 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" piece of the background fabric. Add a 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangle to each side of the stem piece so it is as wide as the pumpkin cabin. Sew the stem section onto the pumpkin section and you have a completed block. I just decided how many blocks I wanted and how wide and long I wanted my hanging and added background fabric as sashing and borders to get the size I wanted. I had enough cut strips to do a patchy border but you really could do any border you like. I think if you print this out along with a picture of the completed hanging, you could easily make one for yourself.
