Looking for a quick November finish?  Here is a smaller version using the stars and pumpkins to create a table runner or welcome banner.

You will need the 'Sharing the Harvest' pattern and it is available on Etsy.  Using the Pumpkin and Star block instructions in the pattern, below are the fabric requirements, and instructions for the inner border and checkerboard to make a 3 star wall runner or 2 star welcome banner.  Of course you can position the pumpkins either way to make a larger banner or smaller runner.  

3 Star 'Sharing the Harvest' Runner 14" x 51"

Background: 5/8 yard

Medium Pumpkin for Pumpkins and Checkerboard: 1/3 yard

Green for Stem/Leaf:  1/8 yard

Black for Star Points and Checkerboard and Binding: 1/2 yard

Gold Star Center and Checkerboard: 1/4 yard

Note:  One pumpkin stem is reversed in both the banner and runner.  Simply follow the pattern instructions reversing the layout of one stem.

Once the pumpkin and star blocks are sewn together, 

Cut (2) 1-1/2" x 9-1/2" background rectangles and sew to the bottom of each pumpkin.  Press towards the rectangle.  

Cut (2) 1" x 47-1/2" background rectangles and sew to each side.  Press towards the rectangle.  

Referring to the purchased pattern measurements and instructions, Cut 1 strip of pumpkin and gold and 2 strips of black to create an alternating checkerboard border.

Lay out the checkerboard according to the diagram above.  Sew the shorter sides first (under each pumpkin). You will need to cut and add in one pumpkin square to one end, and a gold square to the other end.  

Sew the longer checkerboard sides, adding in one black square to each side.

Cut 3-1/2 strips x width of fabric of black for binding.
