Golden Harvest: October’s Mix & Match Block at Sweet Potato Quilts
October is here, and with it comes all the cozy vibes of fall! At Sweet Potato Quilts, we’re celebrating the season with a brand-new Mix & Match Block for our Quilt Club members, and I’m beyond excited to introduce it to you: Golden Harvest!
Meet the Golden Harvest Block ????
Our October block, Golden Harvest, is all about embracing the warmth and fun of fall. With a playful pumpkin right at its heart, this block is perfect for the season of harvest and Halloween. Whether you’re decorating for autumn or just love adding pumpkins to your quilts, this block has you covered!
Flexibility with a 12-Block Layout
This month, I’m sharing a 12-block version of the pattern. One thing I love about this version is that it gives you the flexibility to lay out your quilt in a 3×4 grid, so you’re not stuck with the traditional square layout. If you’re looking for a way to change things up, the rectangular quilt layout is a perfect option. It’s great for hanging on a wall, draping over a couch, or making a quilt that stands out.
Two Pumpkin Style Options
The beauty of the Golden Harvest block is that it offers you creative choices. Whether you love the scrappy look or prefer a cleaner, solid design, this block has options for both.
- Scrappy Pumpkin: You can go scrappy with fabrics one and two, giving the pumpkin a charming, patchwork vibe.
- Solid Pumpkin: Or, if you want a more streamlined look, you can opt for a solid pumpkin by cutting a 6.5” x 8.5” rectangle. This simplifies the block while still delivering that cozy fall feeling.
Adding a Halloween Twist
I couldn’t resist getting extra festive this month! I’m working on an additional pumpkin block using the solid rectangle option, and I’m giving it a fun twist by adding a face with embroidery! ???? It’s the perfect way to bring a little Halloween spirit into your project. If you’re feeling creative, try adding a face to your pumpkin block too — it’s such a playful way to personalize your quilt.
Mix and Match Possibilities
The best part of being in the Sweet Potato Quilts Quilt Club is that you can mix and match blocks from previous months with this new Golden Harvest block. I’ve put together a few quilt mockups, and let me tell you — they have me dreaming about the possibilities! There are so many options, and I can’t wait to see how you bring them to life.
