Turkey Tracks Lap Quilt Tutorial

Today I am so excited to share a quilt tutorial! The Turkey Tracks Lap Quilt.

The fabric used is the Primitive Gatherings by Lisa Bonjean for Moda. I am in love with her fabric. The tones are so wonderful! I seriously couldn’t stop ‘petting’ the fabric. This line is the dark and dirty one. She is truly a traditional and civil war color style of girl.

I met her first at a sewing class {thank you mother who was out of town and I took her place}. I loved every minute of it. More recently I met up with her at Fall Quilt Market. Her booth was filled with beautiful fabric, wool, and quilts. I loved every single one and was so glad I stopped to say hi again and pet, I mean touch, I mean look at her fabric. She is one talented gal.

Finished size: 56″ X 56″

Materials Needed:

1/2 yard- dark fabric
2 yard- background
1 1/4 yard- green
3/4 yard- red
various fabric scraps for the piano keys border- 5″ X 2 1/2″ –92

This quilt was originaly a mystery quilt, and larger….but for this tutorial I took it down to a lap size. Perfect for beginner quilters.

There are 4 colors/fabrics used for the quilt- a background, a medium and a dark. In this version I tossed in a red to give it a little bit of pop. If you aren’t into limiting your color palet, go for your scraps. This would make a fantastic scrap quilt.

The border is simple piano keys with corner blocks. Simple enough- bordering a 9 block center.

It’s been awhile since I have sewn a quilt. I have been keeping with smaller projects, but sewing this us was so much fun! I hadn’t realized that I was missing it.
