November
Project of the Month
It's
hard to believe it is November already!
When
we think of November, we think of Thanksgiving. And of all the Thanksgiving
symbols, the turkey has become the most well known.

| The
Turkey Tracks Quilt |
We've chosen Turkey Tracks
as the new block for this month's project. This block first appeared somewhere
between 1900 and 1935 according to Carrie Hall, who organized and categorized
hundreds of quilt blocks for the purpose of pattern identification in her
book, The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America.
The elongated
triangles give this pattern its tracks! Piece this block in warm autumn
colors for a Thanksgiving treat! Use it as a table topper or wall hanging
each holiday.

The project also includes 35 new fabrics in earthy autumn shades of brown,
green, and deep red.

The project
includes the Turkey Tracks block in two colorations. The block can be
rotary cut, and you may find foundation piecing the best method of construction
for those long triangle points.

Since
12" blocks will tile across several pages, you'll want to
reposition the sections before you print.

1 1-inch long horizontal border
1 3-inch long vertical border
The overall
