You went above and beyond expectations by including the options for a Halloween pumpkin or a fall pumpkin. I would do both. The pumpkin is adorable!

Love this. Fall is my favorite time of year and I love this pumpkin/Jacko lantern.

I am brand new to foundation paper piecing. This pattern and your tutorial are so awesome that I am going to get started! Thank you!

Jen, I loved the fact that the plaids were not lined up. To me, it gave it a look of a basket weave between the sides and top/bottom. Perfect for a pumpkin to be in. Love this video. Still am not brave enough to try paper piecing, but working on it .

[Handistamp]

Oh my gosh! Adorable and exciting! I am glad you had so much fun picking out the fabrics - you did a fabulous job! This project is hard to resist!

[lindaskinner]

Love the pumpkin. Thank you for sharing.

[sammykobayashisan]

Can't wait for my October block to come! I'll make one pumpkin and 1 jack-o-lantern! So exciting!

I just watched this video on utube on your site. I love it!!! Was womdering what you were going to do for Oct.

[MaggiStow]

You could use black metallic thread to sew on the jack-o-lantern. I ordered some.

[sammykobayashisan]

I really would love to buy the kit from your former the paper piece for the Christmas tree wall hanging that was out 4 years ago. Is there any way you can bring that back?
