So Fine! 429 Pumpkin is the warm, rich orange of a ripe pumpkin — the autumn production orange for Halloween seasonal fabric, harvest collections, and any warm-palette quilt where orange should feel as naturally seasonal as the fruit itself. At 3,280 yards, it covers a full autumn season of studio production without restocking. It completes the warm run from 421 Marigold through 428 Copper into full orange.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does So Fine! Pumpkin compare to Glide Pumpkin?
Same seasonal orange territory, different finish: So Fine! is a fine #50 matte that recedes into busy Halloween prints, while Glide Pumpkin is a 40wt trilobal whose sheen makes motifs pop on solid orange. Many studios stock both for the season.
Is Pumpkin the right orange for Thanksgiving quilts?
Yes — its ripe-pumpkin depth matches harvest palettes better than a bright Halloween orange, blending across pumpkin, squash, and autumn-leaf fabrics through the full fall season.
What bobbin pairs best with So Fine! 429 Pumpkin?
A fine orange polyester bobbin — Bottom Line in orange, or a Halloween pre-wound on orange backings — hides cleanly at balanced tension across seasonal production.
