Optional Pieced Backing:

I didn’t order enough backing fabric, so I did a pieced backing for my quilt. They look great, add a little pizzazz to the back sides, and use up all of your leftovers from the quilt top! I used my leftovers to make an extra Star Pumpkin block and added my personalized label to that. Then did a little math and pieced together the rest of the backing.

If you purchased the Harvest Fabric Kit, you will have enough leftovers to make an extra pumpkin block for the back, but you may need to do a little creative piecing for the side panels. The pattern has instructions for a full backing, but if you’d like to do something similar to what I have done, here is all of the information for you:

• (1) 12″ x 12″ Star Pumpkin Block (I added a label where the star would have been)
• White Main Backing Pieces: (2) 35″ x 70″ (A)
• Blue Side Panel Pieces: (2) 12-1/2″ x 28″ (B)
• Blue Gingham Strips: (2) 1-1/2″ x 12-1/2″ (C) and (2) 1-1/2″ x 70″ (D)

I chose to make an extra pumpkin star block, but instead of making the star unit, I used that section to add a cute label. The label is from my Sweetwater Fabric Tagged subscription.

Next, I sewed a gingham strip (C) to each side. Then, I added the blue side panels (B) to each side.

I then sewed the blue gingham strips (D) to the top and bottom. And finally, I added the White Main Backing top and bottom pieces. I probably should have done the pumpkin in an orange so it would stand out a little better! Oh well, it’s cute in person and I love it!
