And we hope you enjoyed this tutorial on the Peek-A-Boo Pumpkin from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. It’s something that you’ll be able to make easily before that day arrives. I have several friends that have birthdays on Halloween. The size of this quilt is 72 by 85 so it’s a great size, perfect for hanging on your porch. And it shows up so perfectly in the black. And if you look carefully, especially on the black, the quilting we used on this was our Spider Webs quilting. The backing on this is that nice orange that I showed you. And of course Riley Blake found a stripe for the binding and it just looks adorable. I asked them, I said, if I could have a stripe for the binding I would love it. We’ve got some around the nose, around this side of the eye. And you’ll need 24 of those total to make it because we’ve got some here, around the mouth. So, you know, you’ll use either the orange in or the black in for whatever it is that you’re going. So it can go this way like this, you know, or over here it can come like this. And then when you put them in, what you want to realize is that you can use either side. Alright, and then you’re going to do this. And I’m going to lay the black to the top so that our seam hides behind the darker fabric. Now what we’re going to do is we are going to go over to the iron and we are going to press these open.

But for the sake of today’s video I’m just going to show you how to do this. And if you want to you can go ahead and sew like a half an inch over from that line and then those little squares will already be sewn together as well. Alright now what we’re going to do is we’re going to trim off this side, just like this. You’re going to want to put six pairs together of ten inch squares because you need a total of 24. So I’m going to sew right on the line and I’m going to do that to all four of these. You know I have that baggie of half square triangles.

And I may do something amazing and show you at a later date. Now don’t get rid of this because we’re going to come up with something amazing to do with that. So I did mine, I left mine at five and what I’m going to do is sew right on these lines and trim the part off. So if you sew to either side your half square triangle will be 4 ½, which you could do but then you would have to cut your squares at 4 ½ because they all have to match and be the same size. So you’re going to cut your two squares into five inch squares and we’re going to draw the line just like this, corner to corner. I’m going to flip these over because it will be easier to see the line. And then we are going to sew right on the line. And we are going to cut those in two just like this. So we are going to take our layer cake pieces and we are going to put a black with an orange. And so what we’re going to do for our half square triangles is we are also going to make those so they come out five inches. There are 24 half square triangles on here and let me show you how we did these because I didn’t want to cut all my squares into 4 ½ inch pieces. So we have this little diagram and basically all you’re doing is sewing squares together until you get to the half square triangles. It’s already packaged and ready to go, entirely up to you of course.Īnd so let’s talk about how you make this. They also put together this awesome backing piece that you can buy. And so you’ll need two packs of those to do that. The trouble I had in putting this together was gathering enough oranges and enough blacks, the right amounts of both and not having you have to buy too many different packs of things and so our friends at Riley Blake put together these layer cakes of these darling fabrics that you see behind me. This is going to look darling hanging from my porch. Now I often make a quilt that I know will look good hanging from my porch and this is one of those quilts. And this quilt is so easy you will have plenty of time to make this before Halloween. He looks like he’s just leaning out to say hello. Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.
