I know my quilt interpretation isn't exactly plaid (although there's one quilt-block that's plaid!), but it is inspired by the autumn colors and the warmth and coziness of those blankets.



I've used Papertrey's Quilted: Autumn stamp set and coordinating Quilted: Autumn Dies to create the autumn leaf quilt. For the colored and patterned quilt blocks I stamped tone-on-tone patterns using Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Pure Poppy, and Scarlet Jewel. The Vintage Cream Linen quilt die-cut is layered over a square panel of Ocean Tides card stock.



I stamped a fall leaf and acorn cluster to accent the bottom. The "Thankful For You" sentiment is also from Quilted: Autumn.


The quilt is layered onto a Pinefeather Tag Sale: Quilted die-cut, and then onto a Spring Moss Stripes patterned panel. A length of Aqua Mist ribbon is threaded through the tag and tied off with some jute twine.


Since the Pinefeather card base is so dark, I added a layer of Vintage Cream Linen card stock to the inside, which I stamped with a border of leaf and acorn images from Quilted: Autumn.

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Pretty Pumpkins



If those seem like odd colors for pumpkins, check out the gorgeous inspiration photo from the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Pretty Pumpkins ...

myblessedlife.net

Aren't those fun? I knew Papertrey's Pumpkin Patch would be perfect because the patterns are already built into the pumpkin designs!


I die-cut a quartet of pumpkins using the Pumpkin Patch dies and stamped them in colors to match the challenge photo, then arranged them on some large circles and background elements in those same colors. For an accent, I tucked in some Branching Out die-cut pieces and added a pair of clouds from Blue Skies.


The sentiment is stamped on a stitched banner that's part of the new Tag Sale: Quilted die set.

If you haven't played along with the Pretty Pumpkins challenge, there's still plenty of time! You have until 8 am CDT October 25 to link up your entry. Visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for additional details and the link-up list.

Thanks for stopping by!
