Handprint Turkey Applique Quilted Placemats

Turn one of your favorite childhood Thanksgiving crafts into a sophisticated holiday decoration with this turkey applique placemat tutorial. The Handprint Turkey Applique Quilted Placemats use your hand to make a turkey shape. But instead of just tracing and coloring in the turkey, you'll use the shape to make a turkey applique in an elegant fabric. Applique these turkeys to a whole set of simple quilted placemats for a beautiful but personal table setting. Choose fall-toned fabrics to make these placemats last you all of the fall season. You can even trace the handprints of your grandchildren to make these DIY placemats even more personalized.
