Pumpkins don’t have to be carved! You can make some of the cutest pumpkins using fat quarters.
Some of these are sewn or no sewing needed. It’s a mix and match of the best (and cutest) DIY fat quarter pumpkins.
Grab your fall printed fabric, maybe a few fake leaves and sticks from your background and you are good to go. If you aren’t into the whole DIY part, and would rather sew – scroll down to check out additional sewn pumpkins using fat quarters. They can easily be used for mug rugs and table toppers if you’d like.
These are easy to make and quick – perfect for the fall or pumpkin season.
