What a fabulous week of turkeys, fall fabrics, and cozy looking projects!
Joan at Moosestash Quilting did a super job with hosting on this one.
It's my day to share what I made to meet Joan's challenge:
Think Turkeys, thankfulness, or Thanksgiving fabric. November also means beautiful colors
of fall, so sew something with orange, golds, browns, greens or cranberry reds.
The fabrics are "Harvest Festival" by Benartex.
There are turkeys, feathers, and rich fall colors, plus metallic highlights.
Solid fabrics in the quilt are Benartex's New Hue.
The finished quilt measures 58" x 74"
The center block is a "Folded Corners" design with a star and pinwheel in the middle.
The pantograph for quilting was "Feathers in Bloom" by Urban Elementz.
Dresdens are one of my favorite blocks to create. They are great for scraps!
The leaves in our yard start turning brown in the fall, not rosy red or orange.
There is a sparkle in the fabrics, but it was hard to photograph.
I love the feather fabric!
Our lemon tree stays green all year and by Christmas those lemons are totally ripe.
I used "Harvest Festival" to make a table runner earlier this year.
This pattern is in my Etsy store HERE.

Carol your quilt is beautiful, especially against those rocks! Love the folded corner design and the fabrics are just my style. And your quilting is perfect! Your Turkey Farm runner is so cute, you do such pretty embroidery work. That lemon tree is amazing, I bet the lemons are huge and juicy. My sister-in-law lives in Florida and brought us some lemons from her tree, and they were as big as oranges and the juiciest lemons I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous! I love the quilting you did, and the Dresden corners look like Turkey tail feathers.

I’m late to the comment party but your project is beautiful. I love the Dresden. Dresdens always make me think fall.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, Carol, your quilting is just beautiful! Your dresdens are gorgeous, and the whole quilt put together is just so pretty! This would be the first quilt I would take out in the fall! You are so talented, I could never accomplish a project like this. Thanks so much for sharing it! It is making me want to try something with a dresden square, but on a smaller scale. Maybe in 2024!
