I worked on a fun project for the Halloween season: a pixelated pumpkin using this pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company and fabrics by Riley Blake. It was my first project using a “layer cake,” or package of 10-inch squares. Most 10-inch squares are cut with a pinked edge to keep the fabrics from unraveling. The pinked edges threw me. I just couldn’t quite get the hang of incorporating the pinked edges in the seam allowance. But I stuck with it and went with good-ish.

I made the mini version but would love to do the large version as a porch quilt. Some day!
