Turkey Tracks

November block for my mother’s room at the care center is Turkey Tracks, the pieced version.  It is another easy block and I used some older Jinny Beyer prints and stripe for a fall-like color scheme.  I love mitering borders and it seemed the perfect thing to make this block a little more special.  Photos below show the progress for constructing the block.  It really helps to have a rectangular template.  I used Margaret Miller’s Angle Play templates.  Finished wall hanging is 26 inches square, just right for the bulletin board in her room.

Most often the turkey tracks block involves some curved piecing but this angular version is from the Ladies Art Company published in 1897.
