November had just one finish. It was a special one for me because it is made of all Nancy Crow designer fabric. I started collecting the fabric in the mid 1990s and had only used a few pieces of it in quilts over the years since then. It's my favorite pattern to make, 16 patch with a patchwork print cut into 8" blocks placed in with the pieced blocks. It is 62" x 78.5".
I finished 3 quilt tops. The Purple Rosy (Kaffe design) quilt top took up most of the creative time in the month. The original pattern has just one row of squares around the perimeter and I did 2 rows. All of the fabrics are Kaffe collective, and it surprised me that there was a good variety in purple. This top measures 66.5" x 84".
The Kaffe Strippy 2 top was an experiment which turned out rather nicely. It is 49.5" x 71".
The little flannel quilt top will be keeping some baby warm when I finish it this month. The top is 30" x 40". It was made from pieces in 2 project boxes so it was a quick one.
I made several small table pieces early in Nov. Some are mug rugs, one table runner, and a table mat. All but the 4 piece mug rugs have been gifted already.
It was a good month and now I have to get serious about finishes again. I am at 24 finishes and 23 quilt tops and I was hoping for a larger margin of finishes at the end of the year.

You have done so good this year,Im determined to get more time in the sewing room this year ,may have to make appointments with myself🤣
A wonderful mix of large and small, finished and to-be-quilted!
A wonderful year of and month of finishes, Wanda--and still going strong;))) I hope to sew binding on Sunrise, Sunset today, but a bit under the weather the past couple days, so we shall see...
31 here and according to weather outlook the snow/rain/sleet mix is due here @ ten a.m. From Hartford & points north it is definitely snow...
Where we used to live in the Berkshire Hills the color purple covers the map--snow country for sure!! [Purple Rosy would be right at home there hahaha.]

You had a great November! The NC quilt did turn out wonderful!
How lovely you’ve already gifted most of the smalls you finished :-) You have finished so many projects but I understand wanting to have a larger margin. I’m starting to think about what I want to accomplish next year as we have a lot of travel planned which limits my quilting time. Perhaps I’ll see about getting all my tops quilted. I also want to make a patriotic quilt in commemoration of the 250th year of the USA.
What beautiful quilts created from your imagination, your glorious fabric stash, and your skills! Applause, applause!
We've had hours of overnight rain and it's to continue for more hours. Glub, glub!
Hugs!
24 final finishes plus 23 tops finished ! ! ! Is an amazing accomplishment ~ even if you wanted more. You had some health issues to take care of and you didn’t even skip a beat with your awesome creativity.
We had lots of rain but no snowflakes (north of us did though). I haven't tallied up my finishes yet - the list is there, I just haven't counted (quilts, tops, journals, etc. each in their own list).
Way to go Wanda! Boy, they are all outstanding, but I love the star table runner....
I like how those dark blocks catch your attention in that first quilt
You had a great month!
You amaze me! Great works.
