As the autumn leaves display their glorious colors, we celebrate God’s faithfulness with thanksgiving for the harvest. I modified the traditional “Corn and Beans” block to represent the crops from the harvest and created the center appliqué to symbolize the Thanksgiving celebration.

The words of a great old hymn inspired the title for this quilt: “All I have needed thy hand hath provided; Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.” by Thomas O. Chisholm Copyright © 1923, Hope Publishing Company
