I really enjoy doing the smaller pieces. This was about 10.5 inches square.
I have been lurking on this thread for a while, and enjoy the conversation. I wanted you to know that you have inspired me to go small as well as big.

LOVE IT! You did a bang up job on this! all your points look terrific. I love this pattern. Does it have a name?

If you want more patterns using my template methods you can see my original designs in my albums

I think I ended up calling it HST Star, I put a photo up and asked people what it was called since I could not find the name. I thought it was the Ohio star. Thanks for the links.

I love to see more people enjoying the mini world of quilting!! It is fun because you can do so many diff things in a shorter time than it takes to make a full size quilt.

Anyone interested in another item swap? We haven't done one in awhile. I know fall can get really crazy so now is the time to fit a swap in!

I need at least 4 people to swap.

My mom bought some old mags at a yard sale and one of them was a woman's magazine that had this project in it. It was a 2003 mag. She asked me to make some tails for these pinball turkeys. I thought I might make each feather a diff fabric and see how they come out. I know there are alot of turkey patterns out there but this one looks like fun to me. I did make one tail last night but need to seam between the feathers yet. I made it bigger tho as the pattern looks too small for me. It is only one fabric which is what the pattern calls for. My mom picked out 7 diff fabrics for 7 tails so I will make those for her first and then play with some scrappy ideas for the tails.

If you dont' have a bowling pin I am sure there are lots of turkey patterns you could substitute for the bowling pin.

Dede, your mugrug is adorable! Sooo pretty!

Rhonda, I know I've seen that turkey before.

I've painted a wooden one with bright different colored tail feathers and it was super cute that way! I like your idea...will want pictures of course...
