mystery mini quilt given by Persimon Dreams

This was a fun one-week mystery.  I chose to Go Green just for the fun of it.  Mostly because Oregon has outlawed plastic bags to be used by stores to bag your items starting January 1.  So that has been on my mind.  Not to mention that I have a lot of green scraps.   I tried to do this through Instagram but I got stuck when it came to putting in URL.  I could not locate a url on my Instagram.  I will have a grandchild teach me how to do that one of these days soon. 

Stary Bright Sky bom 2018

I have sewn my blocks together and put a border on them.  I enjoy Alida's block of months because she gives things to challenge us.  Some of the patterns are difficult but I make myself finish them so that I can receive the next month block.  I work better under pressure!!

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)

October block for Starry Bright Sky

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.
