Hello Everyone!

It's Kate and I'm back with your October Block of the Month!
So excited to have October again, this time around I decided to design my own block for you guys!
You can access the tutorial here, not that you need one! It really is as simple as it looks.

As for the color way let's do beautiful autumn colors for the pumpkins and whites, creams, beiges for the background. You can draw some inspiration from this color palette: and as for the pumpkins GET CREATIVE! Applique on extra cute details, piece the center in different ways, do whatever makes you happy this fall.

Have Fun!
-Kate

Tons of progress today. So heartwarming to see all the love from our quilting community. From blocks and donations to quilt tops and finished quilts. It's all about the love.
