🦃 Dresden Turkey Table Topper – Sewing Pattern PDF
A round Dresden plate in autumn browns and oranges, built in three layers of pointed wedges so the colours shift around the circle, with the pointed tips bound in dark brown and a cheerful appliquéd turkey in the middle: round head, yellow beak, red wattle, wings and little yellow feet. Quilted, bound, and ready for the harvest table.
✔ Three rings of wedges, brown, orange and brown: a classic Dresden with a scrappy, layered twist
✔ Folded-point wedges: the points form by themselves, no tricky curves
✔ Full-size templates for every wedge and for the head, body, wings, beak, wattle and feet
✔ Clear diagrams for binding the points and the valleys of the edge
✔ Quilted through batting: it lies flat and washes well
✔️ 4-page illustrated pattern booklet (PDF)
✔️ 7 template sheets at actual size for US Letter and A4 (wedges, feet, every appliqué piece)
✔️ Materials, cutting chart, piecing order, appliqué, quilting and binding steps, troubleshooting
