November 2024 monthly recap...............


 





There were three finishes in Nov.  On the left, Sunday Only is 62" x 74", in the center Memories - 1956 which is 64.5" x 76.5".  On the right, just finished is Confetti, a postage stamp quilt which is 54.5" x 69.5".  All were quilted by Robin.


One quilt top....and that is a good thing.  I now have finished more than I have started this year.  This floral fabric top is 53.5" x 65.5"









Now for my own records, this quilt was started in 2019 and the top was finished in 2020.  It was inspired by this quilt.  It is 54.5" x 69.5".  I had so much fun making the blocks.








The back and binding are a white with black dots, a 59" wide fabric that I bought on sale a while back.  There is no name on the fabric and the print runs all the way to the edge of the fabric.  I know it looks gray here and that is because it almost an even amount of both white and black.  Click on the photo for a closer look at it.

I sewed some Sawtooth Star blocks last night but didn't take a photo yet.  I will probably get some more sewn today and will show all of them tomorrow.


I just had to take a close up shot of a new bloom on my newest cactus.  I have never seen one like this before.

Lovely November works!!:))) all those small triangles and sqs-- I especially love the Postage one--I made one years ago to gift...Perhaps one "pour moi" is in order? [I know, I said no more big quilts--!!:{{{ ] S I G H.... I like how you alternated a constant solid in each block--gives it a nice cohesive look....
23 degrees here this morning--and sunny...
Hugs for a good week Julierose

You had some great finishes last month, and more finished than started is definitely a good thing. The Postage Stamp quilt is my favorite of the group. I might have to consider that as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge option.

I like Sunday Only the best of your finishes but they are all wonderful :-) That bloom is gorgeous…..I went to Walmart and they had only a few cactus plants and all where a weird washed out orange-y color is very sad shape….I passed on getting one for $8+.

So those are 1" x1" finished squares? The quilt is beautiful. I don't know if I have the patience to make one.

Truly ‘needle works of art’ Wanda. A November to remember . I agree it is a lovely cactus blossom.

Love, love, love. BTW, I discovered a new Kaffe book -- table runners and such, published in July.

Fantastic finishes for November! I think my favorites are Only Sundays and the postage stamp.

Postage stamp for the sparkly color combinations. I know they don't really sparkle but that's the word that comes to my mind).

Only Sundays because when I look at it I find myself swaying back and forth making zoom-y noises like I'm in a race car on a twisty track as I look at the different directions the triangles go and coming to a screeching stop and taking off again at those light blocks. Yes, I do have an inner 5-year old that escapes sometimes :-)

That is a pretty cactus.
