The pumpkin quilt is now a finished top. I got all of the buttonhole stitching done on the top panel. 6 or so hours later I was able to put all of the remaining borders on it.
When I bought this my intent was to have a fall quilt to display on the wall. Well that was two domiciles ago and a lot of yrs ago. I no longer have a wall tall enough to display my quilts on at this time and can't put up a rod here either. So I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it as is or add a border to it to make it big enough for my bed. That will be decided at some point in the future, but not now. If I do add a border, I'll most likely make it similiar to the block backgrounds.
The gingerbread man is a potholder made from a kit that I'd gotten at least 10 yrs ago. Fabrics in the top are from the kit, binding and bow are from a FQ that someone put on the 'free-to-anyone' table.
Serendipity had the print in the hanging loop match up exactly with the binding at the point where I sewed it on. Bowtie turned out good - esp. since the pattern showed it but gave no instructions on how to do it.

Gratitudes:
1. Sinus surgery date is here tomorrow and hopefully all will go well.
2. 5 wks left in school this year.
