This is a design from Designs By Ju Ju. It's machine embroidery panels which are assembled with the regular sewing machine at the end.
The front:
I did depart from the instructions a little at the end. I wanted to try making triangle pockets for hanging, which are concealed on the back and allow the piece to be a table topper if desired. This decision required a separate binding instead of the fold over binding the project designer had recommended.
I chose to use a pieced binding, using various fall tones. Instead of a bias connecting seam at the end, since the pieces weren't connected by bias seams, I used a straight seam for the connection.
All fabrics, batting, and threads are from stash. There's a little hand beading on the pumpkin square, also using up a bit of stash.
Lessons learned in this project: use matching threads for the tackdown stitches in the applique. Be extra careful with the quarter inch seam allowances as it's hard to take out hidden stitches that accidentally end up showing.
