Who Is This For
This is a great choice for:
- Quilters who want to try PiX Smart Grid
- Quilters who love seasonal and fall-inspired projects

The Pumpkin Stack design is a natural choice for fall decorating, but you're not limited to Halloween or Thanksgiving.
Use seasonal fabrics for a traditional autumn look, or change the palette completely for something unexpected. Your finished project could become a fall wall hanging, seasonal quilt, table decoration, gift for a quilting friend or cozy addition to your home.
The beauty of a grid-based design is that your fabric choices can completely change the personality of the finished piece.
