2. Cut out the pumpkin shape

Place the stencil on the quilt and cut around it to create your pumpkin shape.

3. Cut out features

From a contrasting material, cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth of the pumpkin. I chose dark blue to create a nice contrast against the pastel colors of the quilt. Place the cut-out pieces on the pumpkin.

Sew the eyes, nose, and mouth onto the pumpkin shape, securing them firmly.
