I took my pile of small batik scraps and cut some pieces for the 2" bowtie blocks. I have pieces laying out for one block but I haven't sewn any yet. I need to change to a lighter weight thread on my machine.
I have always been intrigued with this traditional block and the die was 57% off and free shipping so I bought it. It is a 12" block so the largest pieces will work nicely with larger prints.
I sewed a sample block but haven't pressed it yet so I'll have more to show tomorrow.
Sewing yesterday was the hand stitching on the binding of the diamond quilt. I have about 54" left to stitch.

Turkey giblets is an interesting pattern…one of those interlocking patterns. Will you make it with two colors as is traditionally done…..somehow, I can’t picture you making it that way ;-)
Turkey Giblets looks like a lovely repeating pattern, Wanda ;))) Looks like it would be a lovely scrappy block.
I am looking forward to seeing your little bow ties come together, too. 50 this morning and overcast--rains due to come in later on.
Housework slated for this morning and maybe sewing binding on Jelly Roll Jazz this afternoon...hugs, Julierose
You are going to get a lot of practice making Y-seams! The turkey blocks lends itself to so many different possibilities with color arrangement.
Working with those teeny tiny 2” bow tie pieces has my head spinning. I can understand why the need for a lighter weight thread. You have more patience than any quilter I know.
Turkey Giblets has LOTS of points to keep track of, even with die cut pieces. Looking forward to your sample block (always so different than the package's glossy cover photo).
A die would make cutting the Giblets a whole lot easier than regular templates!
I had to look up what a Turkey Giblets quilt would look like since I couldn't envision the whole design from just the block. Interesting.

I don't remember seeing that die it does look interesting
