I'm not sure what you mean by harvest time blocks. Blocks made from fall fabrics? Blocks with harvest type names like corn & beans?

How about a pumpkin or sunflower? Scarecrow? That's what I think of when I hear the word harvest.

Oh I had not thought of sunflowers. Paper princess. Some of the fabric will be chosen for us then we will be able to add our own. Yes blocks with themes like corn or beans or sunflowers!

Harvest - I think of combines and corn pickers (big machines), dry corn, vegetables, grain, fall flowers like chysanthemems, plants foliage turning from grren to other colors, getting ready for winter.

If you are into applique, you could do a block with a cornucopia. They ALWAYS make me think of harvest time.
