This is my Halloween quilt for the front door. I was going to sew a pumpkin, but I found these
9 patch squares and decided to just sew the face on them, no pumpkin.
This is my Thanksgiving quilt for the front door. The Turkey is made from my plaids, of course, in the Dresden plate style. Happy??? Thanksgiving??? He looks a bit startled.
This quilt was years in the making. When you make flying geese, or snowball blocks, there is a small corner to cut off. Usually these are thrown away as scraps. But I saved them from lots of projects. I squared them off to a little less than an inch and a half, very tedious. When I sewed them together, I didn't bother about matching points or cutting off points. Then I added the larger HST's to make it bigger, and give the eyes a place to rest. I found the perfect stripe for the back.
One of my favorite quilts of all time. Lots of very tedious cutting and sewing, but I'm glad I didn't throw the material away.
