Dresden turkey turned table topper

I started this project in November and was planning on using Missouri Star Quilt Company's design to make a turkey to hang in our home away from home.  Well, it quickly became apparent that I had completely misjudged sizes needed for the turkey. So the Dresden petals went into my stash.  

I had a yard sale on fabric and related items.  Dresden petals still mine.

So I started playing with the layout and the turkey idea was discarded completely.  I made the circles and layered them.  Okay, I was happy with that.  Then I appliqued them to the brown backing fabric.  Ended up making a round table topper to adorn a Thanksgiving table.  

I like it and the postings to Facebook inspired a friend to utilize ties from her Dad to have Memory blocks made for each of her siblings.  Love it when something like that happens.
