Create the Pumpkin Shape
Take four 1 ½” squares and draw a diagonal line from one corner to the other.
Place the squares on the two outer corners of 2 of the orange rectangles.
Assemble the Patchwork Pumpkin
Sew the three orange rectangles together with the four background corners on the outside edges. Press the seam allowance toward the center rectangle.
Add Borders
Sew the 1 ¾” X 8” background fabric strips to the top and bottom of the final pumpkin block, and add the 1 ¾” X 10 ½” background fabric strips to the sides of the final pumpkin block.
