When I should have been finishing other projects this week, I instead got caught up in making Mr. Turkey:
I saw this tutorial over at Missouri Star Quilt Company and quickly ordered a layer cake of Awesome by Sandy Gervais.
He was so fun to making using a Dresden ruler. I left the beak, tie and feet unquilted to give extra dimension to the wall hanging. I had enough fabric left from the tail feathers, to make a three inch scrappy border.
The light fabrics from the layer cake are the background.
Edit: He's 49.5" by 49.5"!

If you would like to see Mr. Turkey once more, you can vote for him here at the Thanksgiving/Gratitude quilt competition at Quilt Gallery.
Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.
Now back to the Christmas sewing.
