Great idea using pre-quilted background fabric!

It was a last minute decision and I am a slow quilter, creator, crafter so I made it as easy as I could to have it complete before Christmas. Pre quilted background fabric to start, appliqués pumpkin and letters, which I did cut out myself from templates, and synthetic fabric leaves purchased in a package of about 30 from the Dollar store. Working with metallic thread for the first time took the most time and I still need to work on the correct setting for my machine. I was glad when that portion was over. I am very pleased and I can't wait to see my mom's smile when I give it to her.

Thank you do much, but I can't take credit for the design of this pumpkin. It is from A Bright Corner and is on the Thermoweb.com site. I only enlarged the pattern for my wallhanging. They show it used on a terrific table runner. I wanted to stay away from Halloween colors and like the use of the fabrics better. The paisley came from my stash and I don't remember if I used it before, maybe on a strip quilt. It actually has a sticker from Walmart of all places, but is a nice fabric and I plan to use more of it as a backing for some mug rugs. I also love paisley so and anything with a turquoise color always catches my eye. Look up the website, it is also on Pinterest and give it a try!

Wow! How pretty and different. Great job.

It looks great -I like the idea of using prequilted background.

I love everything about your wall hanging, especially your choice of the paisley fabric. Never would have thought to use that but it sure makes your pumpkin POP!
