November block 2 for Starry Bright Sky bom

I had a "mistake" piece left over from making a block for June.  So I used it in this months block.  I didn't want it to be thrown away.  I changed the color arrangement just a bit so that it would look like a sun shining.   Well, anyway I had fun with it.   The top picture shows the piece from June and the other picture is my finished block 2 for November. 

October block 2 for Starry Bright Sky

When I saw the block that June made it inspired me to try something.  She showed how she used freezer paper to trace her lines for the stars.   So I did that and when I was done with the embroidery I used the freezer paper to cut out some fabric stars and applique them a bit cattywampus over the embroidery.  Raw edge applique.  I'm not too happy with the second star covering the embroidery lines a little too much.  Maybe its an eclipse??  (wink)

I left off some of the lines that were on the pattern.  I sort of liked the simpler look.

RSC October blocks

This block was much easier to make than the one for September.  

So..... I see one corner is turned wrong on the middle block.  I will take that out and correct it.

Rainbow scrap challenge 2018

Here are my June, July and August blocks in the first picture.  Jan-May in following pictures.

9 patch challenge

A fun quilt that was presented at Andi's Quilt Academy.  I just finished quilting mine.  I made 3 extra blocks (of the easier blocks, lol) so that my quilt would be a little longer.   I used fabrics that have been in my stash a long time, including the backing.  Unbleached muslin for the bg fabric. 

New Years Day Mystery

This mystery quilt is from Quiltbug and done on New Years Day 2018.   It was a fun one.  I got most of it done in a couple of days and then got it sandwiched and quilted a few weeks later.  These fabrics are from the 60's,  I believe.  Leftovers, but all calico prints.   Some of them that I saved from my mom's scrap barrel years ago and some I have collected from garage sales.   I would have liked to make the entire back with the center fabric but I had to find something in the bin to make it big enough.   The quilt is 54x76.
